On February 5th, I had one of my Patreon’s unlock the mini mini quilt reward. The patron told me to follow my current muse and inspiration but noted that their favorite quilt I have made is Beacon. They like the colors, shapes, vibe, etc. Well, I really love Beacon, too, so I dove in and created a Beacon mini mini quilt.

I still had all the same colors of fabric – Kona Cotton in Nautical, White, and Flame – and Aurifil – 2784 (Dark Navy), 2024 (White), and 1104 (Neon Orange). I barely had enough of the Dark Navy thread for the quilting and binding, but I was able to get it finished without running out!

As you can see above, the mini mini quilt is mini indeed! It finishes at 4.75-inches square. It is not a direct copy of Beacon, but a simplified version of the design.

I kept the most important pop of orange accent in both the piecing, quilting, and binding for the mini mini quilt.
The mini mini quilt is in the mail, and I am celebrating this small finish by linking up with Finish it Friday.
That mini Beacon is shining so brightly! I know the recipient will be thrilled!
Who wouldn’t like this? It is so tiny, but a perfect representation of the Beacon quilt. From your posts, I know you enjoyed the challenge of making this, so it’s fun to see the finished product. I’m sure the recipient will love it.
That pop of orange grabs the eye, a beautiful mini.
This is lovely! Such a good representation of Beacon yet slightly different. I like the pocket detail, it adds a great detail to the quilt .
This is striking little quilt Yvonne! Those pieces must be tiny!
This is the cutest mini mini I have ever seen! I love seeing it on the original large version!
Well thats just the cutest ever! You nailed the Beacon vibe in one tiny piece!
How cool is that? I love it.
Gotta LOVE a mini mini!!! Nice work fitting in all the major elements of the larger quilt, too.
Big and small that quilt is a knock-out. I am sure the recipient will be delighted.
I also love your Beacon pattern. The mini mini is just too cute. I absolutely love that color combination.
Wow. It also looks amazing as a mini mini.
Very cool. I LOVE the orange bits!
I’ve been catching up on your blog this morning. It has been fun seeing what you have been doing. This extra small version is really neat!
it’s wonderful. Who would have thought that a mini mini Beacon would work so well. I’m glad you took up the challenge.
Fabulous mini!
What a great rendition of Beacon! It’s so fun to see it in mini mini form and it really does capture the feel of the full-size version.
I am the one that had the honor of receiving this masterpiece!! It is incredibly amazing indeed! So tiny and so perfect! thank you thank you thank you again!! 🙂
Such a perfect mini to reflect the original Beacon! I’m sure the recipient is going to love it.
That is so lovely
