Never Have I Ever (No. 9)

A modern mini quilt with four maroon and pink half circles on a white background.

This mini quilt was created for the Curated Quilts “curves” mini challenge in December, 2019. This mini quilt was also full of firsts for me. It is named Never Have I Ever because prior to this challenge, I had never made a mini quilt or sewn with curves! A two-for-one on trying new skills.

The colors for this challenge were white, spring green, moss green, burgundy, fuchsia, and teal. I didn’t like this combination so I pared it down by removing the greens. It’s hard to see but the quilting thread is teal. It was not accepted for the issue.

One big mistake I made was accidentally using Kona PFD instead of White. I only discovered this when I was finished and trying to erase my water soluble marker lines. I put the water on the marker and it simply kept migrating around the quilt top! After messing around with this for about 30 minutes, I finally checked my fabric store receipt and discovered my goof.
