    God bless you. I like mini quilts. I've made plenty of 'em. But to make one that big with all those little pieces? Not sure I'm ready for that!

    Did I figure the size of that block right at 1 1/2" square? If so, maybe you are a "nutter". I just can't imagine making something that small.

    I think it is a beautiful quilt. The smallest I will work with is a 1&1/2 SQUARE, I can't imagine a block that small. The prob I have with the smaller blocks is all of the seams make it hard to quilt.

    That will take patience. I have never tried anything that small.
    I admire quilters that take on something like that!!

    One of my favorite quilts that my grandmother made was made up entirely of postage-stamp sized squares. It's a simple enough pattern to reproduce, and some day I'd like to make it. Yours will be a very rewarding quilt to make I imagine. You go, Girl.

    Have you set up weekly appointments at the dear eye doc. Think ahead...double the size and it would still be an incredible quilt and may save your eyes and attitude. Good Luck!
