So we are zooming through the Modern Mini Challenge Blog Hop and I hope you've had lots of fun with all the inspiration!
Today I'm excited to send you over to two supremely talented quilters: Angela of Cut to Pieces and Sara of Sew Sweetness. Lots of quilting goodness my friends!
I met Angela in person at the Sewing Summit last fall and she is so funny, genuine, and fun. I just wished we had had more time to hang out!
You definitely don't want to miss her modern mini. It's adorable!
Angela has done some really fabulous minis that depict a story- check out more of Angela in this interview I did with her a while back.
Then you simply must pop on over to see Sara at Sew Sweetness. Sara is just so sweet (she really is) and today she has an awesome modern mini tutorial for you for this super cool planetary quilt!
Sara also has a New York Beauty Quilt-Along coming up in March!
So now, after all of today's directives, I'm delighted to introduce you to the Saturday Spotlight: Paige of Paper Starfish.
She's got lots of talent and is another kind soul. You'll have to check out her confetti quilt too- it rocks!

Nice interview! I think Paige is so talented-Im happy to be in 2 MQG with her! Love her use of color and fabric!
I love Downton. I can't wait for tomorrow! Will Mary finally make her choice? Will Edith finally stop looking like she needs to pass gas? Will the staff finally leave Daisy alone about William? Ack! I am so excited :)
Love both of today's mini features, and Angela has totally inspired me with my mini (if I get it done in time!)
Nice to meet Paige too :o)
Wow! Busy day here at ELQ! Lots of talent represented today...
Wow, thanks for introducing me to three amazing ladies & their blogs! I am starting Downton Abbey tonight. Andrew actually wants to see what all the hype is about so I've been waiting for us to have some time to start it. Can't wait!
Lovely to 'meet' Paige - we have series One of Downton Abbey on right now!!
