Framed Mini Quilts

While shopping the other day I came across a number of ready made frames and decided to pick up a few and experiment with some of my mini art quilts. So take a look and tell me which ones you like the best.
This is a large floating frame with no glass. It is 17x17 and the quilt is 6x6 inches. $185 I love how much dimension is in this kind of framing.

This is a small quilt behind glass, and also under a double mat in a chocolate brown frame. It's 13.5 x 13.5 inches. $69

This one is similar, a 17.5 x 14.5 inch frame with a long narrow quilt in it. This one is mounted over the mat board so that the edges of the quilt still show. $84

This is a table top 8x10 shadow box frame, it has no hardware to hang it on the wall. $45

This one is a traditional shadow box frame. 12x12 and rather deep. I like how the photograph turned out but this quilt is not for sale. I added some crystals and glass to the surface of this quilt. As you can see, it has found a good place in my home.
For more information on the mini quilt series, and better photographs of these quilts before framing, they live here.

Which framing options do you like best?

  1. BTW, a little foam core board behind the piece will make it "float" away from the framed surface.

  3. My favorites - #1 the large floating framed piece, #2 the last piece in the shadow box frame, and #3 is the piece mounted on top of the mat board. They all look so beautiful framed! Thanks for the foam core tip. Do you glue or double stick tape?
