I'm going to have to ask a real stupid question.

I collected Miniature Quilts magazine for years and read them all (never yet made one!) but I remember a tip.....I think they sew 1/4" seams and then trim them down to 1/8"......OR they sew the block bigger and then trim it down.

Gorgeous but I don't think I would want to make it. Toooo small.

Sally Collins :) I thought I recognized her work.
