April Cubicle Quilt {Finished Mini}

My coworkers have enjoyed seeing my cubicle-sized mini quilts that match my larger monthly wall hangings that hang at home. I made ones for January, February, and March before getting distracted by plenty of other projects.

To make the April cubicle mini to match the April wall hanging at home, I decided that my cubicle mini would just have a scaled down umbrella (thank you, Google Images clip art machine). I had made the pieced background for this over a year ago in shades of green. I picked a larger floral print for the umbrella and brown for the handle.


For the satin stitching, I used brown on the handle and pink around the umbrella. For the quilting, I used a green and yellow variegated thread in rows of loops.


The backing is an old yellow and green stripe from my stash and the binding is a yellow, green, and pink leafy print left over from some older baby quilts that I made (in approximately 2013!).


This will be going up in my cubicle on April 1st! Now I have over a month to try to get one done for May.

  4. Your idea for a monthly mini to hang in your cubicle is perfect! My daughter works in a cubicle and they can certainly be pasty and vanilla. Making a monthly mini for her would be an awesome gift...maybe I should start with a seasonal one first. Thanks!

  7. I looove the whole idea of cubicle quilts! p.s. I'm joining in the Blocked Rainbow QAL. It's my first 'branch out' into modern. Have a blessed Easter weekend.
