Munki Minis
Over the weekend I had a burst of creativity and everything I had been working on was pushed aside. *Months* ago I had made a couple Munki Munki blocks for fun. I had no idea what I was going to do with them, but I just really wanted to cut into that cute Heather Ross fabric. Then they sat in a little box….so sad and lonely. Then suddenly on Saturday, it hit me! Mini, modern, one-of-a-kind baby quilts!
I decided I needed to make a rainbow of them (minus purple – I really just don’t have that much purple in my stash!) I am so very excited with how they turned out.
Each one uses a bit of my Heather Ross fabrics. Some I had from trades, some I purchased from Kerri over at Sew Deerly Loved. Kerri sells bits and pieces of the Munki Munki pajamas – pure genius!
Each mini quilt measure 18″ x 21″. The backs coordinate with a fabric used on the front in the block and the binding also matches the backings. I quilted them in modern, “random” (I marked them before quilting) straight lines. I just love how they turned out!
Bikes…
Fireflies…
VW Vans…
Farmers Market…
Goldfish…
I am planning on listing these in my shop sometime today. I hope Etsy fans will love them as much as I do – I see a lot more in my future!

Again, I really love these! Fabulous idea!
These are beautiful!
I love, love, love the blue one! I’m sure some lucky Etsy shopper will love it, too!
These little quilts are absolutely adorable! I love how bright and fun they are. I especially love the backing and binding of the red quilt. Thanks so much for stopping by my blog– I’m so glad you did, as it led me to yours, and made me want to run to my sewing machine right now to work on new projects! You have a great sense of color and I love your quilts!
Faith I love them!! Bri would adore the VW Vans one. I wish it were bigger!! I’m sure they will go fast. What’s not to like about them?! Beautiful colors!
I love these! So cute! The colors are so pretty! I might have to make one like these for my baby!
LOVE these! I want that VW one for Leo since we have a VW minivan lol
Off to check them out!
I didn’t know that! Not to make you feel pressured, but if you decide you want something “boy” for him, I have blue VW van fabric too.
I made Anna a rag lovey for Will using the goldfish and it would have been cute with the vans as well.

OMG, those are so beautiful. Oh, I’m such a sucker for anything rainbow!
genius idea. my munki is sad and lonely too. this is very inspiring. thank you for sharing. i love the backs. i am a sucker for printed backs.
These are adorable!
These are so cool and modern! I love that you’re just using a small bit of the Munki fabric. It really becomes the star of the quilt. Your binding choices are fantastic too!
Can I ask how you mark your quilting lines? Do you use a washable fabric marker?
Katie – I use a Clover Water Soluble Marker (it’s blue). After I am done sewing, I spray the fabric with a water-filled spray bottle. It just disappears!
Cool! Thanks!
Another stroke in the column of “Less is More.” *Fabulous!* I just love these – great idea to make small amounts of such great prints the “star of the show.”
