Quiltlets to practice sewing

I'm trying to learn to sew, so made these little quiltlets to practice. These are NOT for the swap on ABC.
I scanned them before they are finished. I wanted to get a scan before I added the hanger I'm contemplating, and maybe a few more embellishments.
These didn't scan well. They are much prettier in real life. Don't know why the colors are so far off, but they are. The background is some muslin that Kat and I hand dyed last April using Easter egg dye and vinegar that we spritzed onto the material. Incidentally, Kat gave me all the material and images, with the exception of the muslin and the green grosgrain ribbon.
