I like making miniatures - I finally finished piecing a checkerboard top last night - trying to get all the seams to match just about made me crazy. I'm going to use black and red buttons as the checkers and embroider and applique the 3½" parchment border around the checkerboard part.

Here are some miniature flying geese quilts I made for a doll - the first one was too big for the doll, so I re-made it. The strips of flying geese are paper-pieced and I would definitely stick with paper piecing for patches this small. The finished geese are about 3/4" x 1½"

Flying geese mini's in 30's prints - this is after laundering, so it's nice and puffy-looking. :)

The smaller one had too much quilting in it

The larger one drapes better, but it was fun to quilt this small one, anyway. :)
