For me, miniature quilt can mean either to scale (like Ronda said) or small.

The Doll Quilt Swap states anything between 12" x 12" up to 24" x 24" and anything in between. http://www.quiltingboard.com/member-...p-t178942.html

The Alzheimer's Association Quilt Initiative (AAQI) ask for 9" x 12". http://www.alzquilts.org/

I have saved log cabin pp patterns from block size 1.5" on up to about 4". Sometimes a finished block pattern will measure larger but usually you will make 4 paper pieced sections and sew them together to make the complete block.

I hope I am not making this clear as mud for you. Miniature is what you want to do, IMHO!

PS: The tinier you go the more difficult it 'could' become. I can make 1.5" log cabin blocks but I have to work harder than a 3" or larger and probably will throw out a few in the process.
