Thank you Maksi for the nice compliment. I think you're right - 54 pieces is an awful lot to squeeze into a 3-1/2 inch length! Your quilts don't look that bad. You've got the right idea. With a little coaching, you'll be making minis better than ever! The one on the left has the right warm color family, but your scale is off. You have great fabrics, but the eye is drawn to the white fabric of the birds and that doesn't work. There's too much going on. The eye needs a place to rest. Yes, the bird fabric is overwhelming the precious heart in the center. It's just a matter of coordinating the right fabrics together and you'll have a winner! Don't give up on it yet. You can still do it, but look at some successful minis and you'll soon see how to get the hang of this. Then you'll be hooked on minis for sure.
