Have you seen fatquartershop’s free pattern for a mini quilt featuring a bottle of nail polish? I love it! It’s so quick and easy to assemble, and it even comes with a youtube tutorial.
As a colour loving girl you hardly ever see me without polished nails. I really love red nails, so I basically used the same colour combination as shown in the sample. For the “polish” part I went with a chevron fabric in two red tones, which added a bit of depth to the design. (I’m pretty proud of my piecing and continuing the chevron pattern.)
I decided against taking “girly” pictures of the quilt with my (embarrassingly large) collection of nail polish, but took it outside for a walk.
I quilted it using straight lines in two differing widths creating a pattern of varied rectangles and squares. The binding is a Rosali IKEA print, which works great because the polka dots are irregular.
I’ve seen lovely quilts made with this pattern – like this quilt of 6 bottles by Bee In My Bonnet or this version in purple and mustard by quilt jane.

veni vidi vicky 
very pretty, I like the quilting with the various widths.
Thank you Shauna, I think it’s a fun variation. For a bigger quilt I would prefer a regular grid, I think.
I love the colours you chose! So vibrant and fun!
Thanks Liz! I love aqua/turquoise and it works surprisingly well with red!
Sehr schön geworden, liebe Vicky!! Dieser Miniquilt ist auch auf meiner “To do” Liste….
Allerliebste Grüße
Deborah
Liebe Deborah, die Anleitung ist wirklich super. Ich denke, man kann es auch gut an ein jüngeres Mädel verschenken.
Super süß, vielleicht auch was für meine Tochter…
Liebe Aylin, bestimmt! Mein Freund schlug auch vor, eins für jede meiner Freundinnen zu machen ;-)
Deine Farbkombination gefällt mir supergut! Und deine “draussen Fotos” auch :-)
Danke Verena! Freue mich besonders über deine nette Bemerkung zu meinen Fotos, weil ich da immer sehr selbstkritisch bin…
