I love that you framed those pieces, how effective is that?Will you be hanging that in your sewing room? Your Log Cabin will be beautiful, love your choices of fabric.

Thanks for sharing.
First of all thank you for the kind comments. No, this little spring quilt is not going into my sewing room, but to a friend who said the right things at the right time. Hope she doesn't mind that it's just a little wonky in the frame. It's not supposed to be :(.
I have this challenge to myself when I make these little ones--only use what's in the scrap bins. I don't purposely cut strips that size, I take them from my 3/4" strip bin, so fabric selection can be limited. But it doesn't take much fabric :thumbup: Admittedly if I need, say as in this quilt more light fabrics, I will cut a 3/4" strip from the end of a 1 1/2" scrap strip. But only if I have to :D

Those are very creative and I saw a kit that had pieces 1/2 inch or less. I like yours much better.

Thanks D. Are you talking that the pieces were 1/2 inch finished making them come from 1" cuts? What all did the kit entail? G

Love your tiny little piece of art! I have a log cabin to make that is PP-a favorite way to make a miniature.

No the pieces were 1/2 in or less, I think they were made as a joke.

Beautiful. I have been working with small pieces and find I like them. I dont think I have tried anything that small.
