Default Midget Blocks--another Dear Jane?

Has anyone started any midget blocks? I was surfing the web & found these "oh, so charming" mini blocks. They are from a 1920's quilt which resembles a "DearJane". I was wondering if anyone has attempted these little PP/applique/handsewn gems and whether they are as intricate as they look.

I have downloaded a bunch of the free ones, in case I need to substitute for my Dear Jane - or just because I really like them! I haven't tried them yet though.

I downloaded a bunch of the patterns, too. A lot of those could be constructed in a larger size, they're so tiny!

I love making mini's and have made a few of these. They are fun and easy to do. Go for it.

ok, you are my enabler! i just looked at and downloaded all the free blocks! i have no right to start thinking about doing these as i'm not even half finished with my 3 dear janes. some of these blocks are quite challenging. my favorites are the ones that look like flowers. i'll have to put this on my calendar for a year from now and really get serious about my dear jane so i can start these
