Holding Light Mini Quilt: How to Hang It

If you’ve been following along with the Holding Light mini quilt, I’m so excited to finally say… it’s finished.

This little quilt is part of my Book of Many Mini Quilts project, where I’ll be creating 16 mini quilts throughout the year. The Holding Light mini quilt is the very first one, and getting it finished and up on the wall feels like such a good start.

Finished Mini Quilt + How to Hang It | Holding Light Quilt

In this video, I’m showing you the finished quilt and how I hang it using simple corner pockets and a wooden dowel. This is one of my favorite ways to display mini quilts because it’s clean, simple, and lets the quilt really shine.

Supplies

Fabrics I’m using:

Hanging Supplies

Dowels – 12″ length and 17″ length
Decorative pushpins

A Small Quilt You Can Finish

One of the things I love most about working on a mini quilt is how doable it feels.

This quilt finishes at about 10″ x 14″, which means you can move through it without feeling overwhelmed. It’s also a great place to slow down a bit and enjoy the details, especially when it comes to quilting.

For this one, I kept the foreground quilting very minimal and went a bit denser in the background, which gives it that soft, slightly puffy look that I always love.

About the Holding Light Mini Quilt Class

The full Holding Light Mini Quilt Class is now complete and available inside Quilty Class.

In the class, we walk through everything step by step:

piecing the quilt top
quilting the design
preparing it for hanging

It’s a beginner-friendly project, and the pattern is included, so you can jump in and start whenever you’re ready.

Part of a Bigger Project

This mini quilt is just the beginning.

Holding Light will be part of a full collection of 16 mini quilts that will come together in a book later on. Some quilters will hang these one by one, others might save them and see where they lead.

Either way, this is the first step.

Finished and on the Wall

There’s something really special about taking a project all the way from start to finish and giving it a place in your home.

It doesn’t have to be perfect (mine definitely isn’t), but it’s done, it’s hanging, and I’m really happy with it.

And now… onto the next mini.

Happening Now

Swayful Quilty Class – BEGINS JUNE 29

A new quilt is beginning inside Quilty Class. Swayful features a woven knot design created from rotating blocks and simple snowball construction. The pattern is fat quarter friendly for the foreground fabrics and includes a unique border that carries the movement all the way to the edges of the quilt.

We’ll begin on June 29 and work through the quilt top together step-by-step as new lessons are released.

If you’re planning to make quilts with us throughout the year, Quilty Club is the easiest way to follow along and access each class as we go.
