    Cute! I'd like to try this for an Alzheimer's Art Quilt Initiative quilt. A micro sampler might be a good choice.

    You could do this on the machine. Just use a 3/4" square a 1/4" seam allowance or you could use a 1" and take a slightly deeper seam allowance. You also could strip piece this and that would be easier to do too. Use a strip larger than you need and after you sew two together then cut down to the size you need. It really isn't as hard as it sounds. You can handle a dime and it is about that size. The only problem I had on my Brother was the feeddogs wanted to draw the small stuff down into the holes in them. If you can find a way to avoid that problem it really isn't that difficult to do. I have a Singer with a really small foot and feeddogs so I don't have that problem on my old Singer.

    OH MY GOODNESS.. What in the world were you thinking? I love small.. I love minis.. but those are really really tiny. What in the world did you do with the seam allowances? Sew first, then trim? I can see why you love tiny prints!!
