Good morning Quilters. I'm thinking about starting to make mini quilts, perhaps using 1" or 1 1/2" pieces. Would the seam allowance still be 1/4" ?

No, mini-quilters use 1/8 inch seam allowances.

Thanks so much for the speedy reply, Mdegenhart! I had a feeling that the 1/4" would be too bulky.

I did some minis and I used a 1/4" seam and then trim the seam afterwards before pressing.

I use those size pieces for my doggie bed filler. I do admire those who make the minis though. Have seen some very impressive works of art and anticipating yours

i saw some minis at the nat quilt museum at Paducah and this is the way it was explained to me

This sounds like it would be much easier to handle...especially for a beginner like me. Thanks for the tip.
