i would love to hear the answer to that i wonder if there is a size difference or if it has to have as many blocks as a quilt or what inquisitive minds want to know.
this is a definition i found on the web
"My thought, not necessarily everyones, is a small quilt which is in proportion pieces wise. When photographed with no scale for comparison the mini will look like a full size quilt, and only when a comparison is applied should the smallness be seen."
here is another one
A type of quilt that is a smaller version of a full-sized quilt.
