How to Make a Mini Quilt – Tutorial

Michelle here again from Creative Blonde. Today I am going to share a quick and easy mini quilt/mug rug tutorial. The term mini quilt is kind of a catch all for quilts that aren’t big enough to use as a blanket. A mini quilt can be any size from 20″ to 9″. The process is the exact same regardless of the size, so if you follow this tutorial you will be set up to make a mini quilt that is bigger or smaller than this one. Here is how to make a mini quilt!

I chose a striking purple fabric, and kept it all one color. Start by tracing the butterfly template onto your fusible interfacing, then fuse this to the wrong side of your butterfly fabric.

Using a back stitch in black thread I added the butterfly antennae.

I stitched in the ditch (along the coins where the strips were sewn together.)

If you haven’t used bias binding before, this is a great alternative way of doing it, because we cut the backing fabric larger than the top, we can now just fold the edges twice each and pin in place.

**We love Wonderclips to hold the binding in place while you sew.
