Bust-A-Kiss Block Mini

HellofromCat Bust-A-Kiss Block - Cover

Last week Cat from Cat & Vee pos­ted a fab­ulous tutori­al for her Bust-A-Kiss block on their blog.    Did you see it?   Trust me, you are def­in­itely going to want to check it out!    It took me about 1 second to know that I had to make one, it was going to be a mini and, that I was mak­ing it with Fresh Cut, the gor­geous new Moda fab­ric line by Basic Grey!

Cat’s tutori­al is for a 12 12″ unfin­ished block with step by step dir­ec­tions that are super easy to fol­low.    To make the mini I res­ized the block by start­ing with a 7″ square.  The centre strings were made by join­ing five mini charm squares togeth­er and then trim­ming each set to 2″ x 10 12″.

After mak­ing and join­ing four blocks togeth­er I added a simple border…

… did some simple straight line quilt­ing, bind­ing and voila! one com­pleted mini top all in a couple of hours.

And then I star­ted think­ing that this mini would make an awe­some cush­ion cov­er!  I haven’t sewn anoth­er one just yet but you can bet I will do in the near future.   In the mean­time, my mini and I will be hanging out with the gor­geous flowers I picked up this morn­ing, hav­ing a cup of tea and a read.   Looks bliss­ful does­n’t it!  Hope you enjoy your day too 🙂

  1. Well, that’s refresh­ingly spring­like. I love how you’ve high­lighted the peach in your first photo — my tea times nev­er look that pretty (does­n’t help that I’m usu­ally drink­ing cof­fee). It’s great to see Cat’s block all Peta-rized! 😉

    1. Thanks Kirsty, you are a treas­ure. Those flowers were pure luck since I have a ser­i­ous flower budget to stick to, they are pretty though aren’t they. Since I’m yet to hang a mini on a wall I fig­ure they using them as table top­pers is a pretty good idea. Thanks again 🙂

  2. Oh it looks gor­geous!! Look at you with the beau­ti­ful styl­ing too — the flowers, Kate Mor­ton and Vivi­enne W cup and sau­cer — looks awe­some. Thanks for doing a res­ize and say­ing the meas­ure­ments too, you know quilt maths is my enemy. Thanks so much for shar­ing it. xx

  3. This is such a cute mini!! I love the spring col­ors and the quilt­ing is per­fect for it!! Great job!!
