At Rhonda: how do I downsize any pattern at this blocksize? I cant figure how to make a 1.5inch block out of two or three paperpiece fragments.......
And where do you get fabric with thiny prints on it?

Sorry I just saw this! You have done an incredible job on these!!
Tiny print is hard to find. I can send you some scraps if you send me your address by pm NOT on this public part tho :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

As for downsizing that would depend on what you want to do. You find the patterns you want to downsize and let me see them and I can get a better idea of if I can help downsize them.
I don't do paper piece but I think we can figure it out anyway.

I would be happy to come up with some designs if you want, I love to design and jump at any chance to play!!! LOL

I use 1" blocks to make a 2 1/2" finished quilt block if that would interest you. You can do a sampler this way with 4 quilt blocks. When you use my Bostons in a 1" or the star point blocks you can get some interesting looks.

There are tons of miniatare quilt ideas online. Just type in miniature quilts magazines in a search engine and you can see lots of ideas that way.
I was searching the net for hours. My "problem": I would like to go by traditional blocks not bigger than 1.5 inch and then it has to be pp.
I would love to get scraps but you have to allow me to pay for them and the postage. I will pm you
