Learn something new today with the super cute quilt patterns inside Little Gems! Quilting is fun, but sometimes I just don't have the time and energy to commit to such a large-scale project. Every now and then, it's fun to mix things up and make a small, miniature quilt, like the ones found inside this quilting pattern book, Little Gems by Connie Kauffman.

Inside this 80-page pattern book, you will discover 15 paper-pieced miniature quilts. If you're new to paper-piecing, then this book will teach you this popular technique that can be done in just a little bit of time using a small amount of materials. Each square measures approximately 12 inches and you can quilt them on your home machine.

These cute quilts can be displayed in your home using wire hangers, and placed on tabletops or walls. Because of their small size, they can be worked up quickly and make excellent homemade gift ideas. I especially love to give them as housewarming gifts to new neighbors or new home owners!

Aside from the quilt patterns, this book also includes general instructions on making small quilts, which is super helpful if you're new to this technique. Learn something new today with the super cute quilt patterns inside Little Gems!
