So far I avoided each pattern calling for pp and now I wanted to make a mini and I had to go with pp and boah.......its fun.
Sadly my blocks ended up 1 3/8" instead of 1 1/2" so I will have to add a border to get to the finished 6".

So for all making minis: where do you get the patterns? How do you get the paper off and do you go with 1/4" seam allowance?
I had the problem that my work tended to slip to the left under the presserfoot going over bulks of seams. How do you avoid that?

And most important: do you do patterns with more than two colors? With this tiny pieces I was afraid that one cant see the piecing unless one goes with two contrasting colors. Would be a shame for all of the work

Would love to hear from experienced mini makers.
