| Nickel mini quilt |
I made this mini quilt to enter the Modern Mini Challenge at Ellison Lane Quilts. Be sure to check out all the mini quilts in the challenge!
This mini quilt is just 16" square, perfect for a table topper or wall quilt. This mini quilt is my interpretation of the traditional Dutch Rose quilt block.

My mini quilt is made from nickel (5") charm squares since using nickels is what this blog is all about. I started a tutorial for this block but as I looked at the finished block, I saw another way to construct it that I think will be faster and easier. I will post the tutorial soon. The fabric I used is from the Fresh Mixerz collection by Jan Mullen. I love this fabric line and am finally using it! I am using it in my Ribbonry quilt also which is nearing completion and turning out better than I imagined. Here's the final design for Ribbonry-
