Here are a couple of pictures of some mini quilts that were on display at the Pacific West Quilt show a few weeks ago. I was using my phone, so the photos are really bad. But get a gander at that tiny hand quilting and piecing! Those are for real.

Standing ovation to the quilter! I can't imagine how they can make stitches that small. Fantastic!

paper piecing. I have a few blocks that are that small as well. They are really fun to do, and bring on loads of compliments!

I was wondering if it was paper piecing. I forgot the lady's name! I want to say her last name was Collins, but I don't know. There was a whole wall of her works. I was kicking myself for not bringing the real camera, but it is just too heavy on my neck for that long.
