Half-Pint Mini Quilt & Lap Sized Quilt

About This Quilt: I designed this quilt to host a fun little quilt along here at Charming Chatter! I made two of the mini versions (41” x 41”), and one of the larger version (59” x 71”), and I love them all! We had a fun little naming contest with the sample version that I made, and our sweet bloggy friend Esther suggested that we name this cutie “Half-Pint”, after the nickname of little Laura Engals Wilder from Little House on the Prairie! Since the pieces are so small, and I loved that show when I was a little girl, the name fit perfectly! Thanks again to Esther!

Hope you all will enjoy making a little “Half-Pint” of your own!

For the Lap Sized Quilt:

1. Gather your 11 strips that are 3 1/2" x WOF.

2. You can use a straight seam to stitch all of the strips together.

3. Or, you can do a diagonal seam (which makes the piecing in the border less visible).

4. To make diagonal seams (the Kelly way), lay one strip of fabric so that the edge has the 45 degree angle line on your mat running through the middle of the end

5. Lay the next border strip on top of it, with your fabric facing right sides together (RST)

Quilt as desired!

Piecing & Applying the Scrappy Binding

1. Gather your binding strips and stitch them together on the 2 1/4" ends.

2. Press your seams open to reduce bulk

Page 23: Half-Pint Mini Quilt & Lap Sized Quilt - Charming Chattercottoncharmquilts.typepad.com/PDF-Half Pint.pdf · Half-Pint Mini Quilt & Lap Sized Quilt About This Quilt: I designed this

“Half-Pint” Cotton Charm Quilt, Inc. © 2009 23   

3. Fold in half, wrong sides together, and press.

4. Starting approximately half way down one side of the quilt, stitch the binding using a 1/4' seam, and leave a tail 8" to 10" long hanging (so you have room to work when you connect the binding at the end).

5. When you get to each corner, lay the binding above the corner, making a 45 degree angle

then fold it straight back down

so you'll have an opening in your corner like this:

“Half-Pint” Cotton Charm Quilt, Inc. © 2009 25   

6. Pin corner, pin binding to side of quilt and stitch. Repeat as you work your way around the quilt. After you have finished the last corner, be sure to leave 6" to 8" unstitched, so you have room to work while attaching the two ends of your binding.

7. On my mini quilt, the binding matched up perfectly. On the lap size it needed to be trimmed. Lay the two ends of the binding over each other and clip at the 1/4" overlap as follows:

8. Stitch the two ends together using a 1/4" seam allowance. Press the seam open, press binding in half, and stitch to quilt.

9. Fold the binding over the quilt edge, and stitch the binding to the back of the quilt, using small stitches:

10. When you get to a corner, clip corner to reduce bulk, if necessary. Fold and pin one side of the binding down:

11. Fold the remaining edge over, to make a neat corner, and pin.

12. Stitch. Repeat as you work your way around the quilt!
