In the book Embellished Mini-Quilts, Creative Little Works of Art, Jamie Fingal has gathered award-winning designers who share their patterns and instructions for quilts that each measure less than 36 x 36 inches, as well as provide personal anecdotes as to when and why they embellish their work. These compelling mini-quilts have a big impact thanks to creative use of embellishments that help bring a story, memory, or idea to life. Adding jewelry, seashells, ribbons, foil stamping, embroidery, and other details to a design is a wonderful way to personalize projects.
