Does it matter? If it's small enough to go on a wall you can call it a wall-hanging, a doll quilt or a miniature. I suppose a language purist (language police?) would insist that the definition of "miniature" is a smaller scale model of an original. However, looking at the spelling and grammer found in the majority of messages, I venture to suggest that there are no language police here. So don't sweat it.
