I am simply overwhelmed by all your feedback to the pics of my 24 miniquilts. Thank you so much! If I will ever have a lousy sewing day I will go back to that topic and read all your comments over again :D :D
I also received a lot of pms and I do understand that a lot of questions and the answers get "lost" in such a long thread so I will try to answer them here.
Besides the fish and the tumbling blocks all are paper pieced, the tumbling blocks the only handsewn. All others are done on normal copier paper by machine and will have finished size of 6".
The pattern of the little house is called "house in the woods" by reginagrewe.de.
The hearts pattern is called "crazy patch heart" by Carol Doak
The fish I have from candlequilter who posted hers under "fishies anyone".
There is no pattern to the bears in bed quilt. I saw a similar one on this board that inspired me. The heads of the bears are an embroidery file from allstitching.com.
The frame of the top right blue one is seminole technik and I got that from quilterscache as most of the other traditional blocks also.
All I did after printing the templates out was downsizing them with the copier to the desired size.
The rest is regular paper piecing - only smaller, there is no secret to it and there are many tutorials on this board I learned from.
I got a lot of remarks about the white/green pinapple block also and it was one of the easiest!
I would be very happy if you would try it out and see for yourself that it only needs to sew little stitches straigth on a line on the paper!!
