tooMuchFabric--these are just wonderful! The WIP batik will be lovely when finished. Do you PP or not? Either way beautiful quilts. When you unpack the others--show them here!

OK, I'll show you one of my miniatures. It is a dollhouse scale 1:12. That means if a regular quilt for a bed is 4 feet by 5 feet, the dollhouse quilt is 4 inches by 5 inches. I put a quarter next to it, so you can compare. Each pillow and each block are 1 1/2 inches. Each block contains 17 pieces. The total size of the quilt is 5 inches by 7 inches. The little flap at the end would go over the end of the bed. I have to be careful I don't lose this quilt!

Judy Such neat little square in a square blocks!

Are we getting off topic?--maybe should start a new thread with our itty bitty's.

I am impressed and in awe of your work. Do you pp for the squares with 17 pieces in them? I am intrigued with itty bitty quilts, so guess I will just have to dive in and learn to work with small pieces.

Thanks for sharing!

Thanks so much, I'm glad they please.
Some of them are PPd, such as the batik Compass, but most of them are pieced - strip pieced in some cases, but usually pieced from individually cut bits.

Check out the miniature section and the paper pieced section--you will find postings of many small quilt projects there.

One more week and the swap is over and the teensy tiny squares will be winging our way again. I can't wait to see what fabrics show up in my mailbox. Woohoo!! Thanks to all who participated and extra special thanks to Missi!
