These are beautiful, stunning works of art and yes, I agree, represent just as much thought and work as many large quilts! It takes real skill to do them in miniature!
I have to agree with this wikipedia definition: "....Many (quilts) are not used as bed covering at all, but are rather made to be hung on a wall or otherwise displayed."

Hey, it looks like the whole world is with you!!
