Cocktail Shakers Mini-Quilt Start

 Being part of the

Little Quilts Blog Tour

means 

making new friends :)

Designers Sarah Fielke and Amy Lobsiger

asked each of us to make

one of the mini-quilts

for another member of the blog tour.

I would love to make them all,

but knew I had to select one special one

as a gift.

I chose 

Cocktail Shakers

 I already had a big selection of

Kaffe Fassett Shot Cottons

in my stash

which were perfect to work with

for this project.

 And the paper piecing was easy breezy.

Amy was the designer of this mini quilt

and gives great instructions in the book.

 Even the trimmings are pretty

 I see Cocktail Shakers starting to emerge,

although to me they also look like volcano's.

Check back tomorrow and I will reveal my finish.

Remember,

I am hosting a 

Give Away  !

of 

Little Quilts

Make sure to go over to yesterdays post

and leave a comment for a chance to win.

The drawing will be announced on Sunday.
