Welcome to Jen & Jan's Mini Blog Hop! At the end of my post is the list of all those who will be revealing their mini for today and tomorrow. We have ten international participants! 2 from the UK, 3 from Australia, 2 from Canada, 1 from Germany, and 1 from Nigeria!
In the states, we are representing Idaho, Oregon, Washington, California, Utah, Colorado, Arizona, Ohio, Minnesota, Michigan, Louisiana, Missouri, Tennessee, New Jersey, Michigan, Indiana, and Wisconsin. How we managed to have such a wide variety of states, I don't know!
My blog partner in this adventure, Jen Rosin of A Dream and a Stitch designed a 16 inch mini quilt. The free pattern called Quilter's Laundry Day can be downloaded from Craftsy here.
My official reveal is happening tomorrow but to make it interesting, I recruited some friends of mine to make their own versions.
You may remember my BQF (Best Quilty Friend) Robin, whom I introduced here. Robin and her mom, Audrey, and her sister Mindy all decided to participate! Thanks ladies for joining in the fun! Although most of the bloggers will probably have theirs quilted and bound, I told these ladies they could just make the block for now. Without further ado here are their versions.
Did you see what she did? She made a separate quilt and hung it on a string with teeny tiny clothespins! Depending on what mood you were in, you could have a whole selection of 4 inch quilts and hang the quilt of your choice on the line! Clever lady! I knew I could count on her to do something creative.
Now here is the list of bloggers who will be blogging about their mini today. I hope you'll take the time to visit and comment on each of these fun ladies quilts and then come back on Saturday for Day 2's Reveals. I will be giving a gift certificate for a free Craftsy class to a randomly selected visitor who comments on my blog post on Reveal Day and Jen will also be providing a prize. I'm aware of several other bloggers who will be having a giveaway so please leave lots of comment love!

Robin's version: Adorable 4" quilt!
