Absolutely. She spoke at our guild a couple of years ago and it pushed me to do a miniature quilt for the guild silent auction. I'm glad I did it, but I don't know that I will do another one again. My quilt had 49 2" LeMoyne stars. It can be seen in this blog post I wrote.

Don't try to stitch with an 1/8" seam. Stitch with 1/4" seam -- use tweezers to hold the pieces together -- then trim the seams. And above all, don't think a miniature quilt will take less time than a full size quilt.
I opted for a 1/4" binding -- I think I did a single fold to eliminate bulk.
