TUTORIAL: Crown of Thorns Mini Quilt!

Yay! It's Tutorial Friday! (Gosh, I wish that had more of a ring to it! Never mind...)
This time round I'm showing you how to make a gorgeous little mini quilt featuring a GIANT colourful Crown of Thorns block!
This lovely little mini has been made in collaboration with the RJR Supreme Cotton Fabrics Blog Hop I was invited to join in on today! So that means this quilt has been using a selection of beautiful Supreme Cotton Fabrics that I chose to showcase to you all! (A full list of the colours I used is further down.)
