A big mini!
 

I thought I had posted this quilt...it's been quilted and bound for over a year...and haven't taken a picture of the finished project...It uses lots of 1" pieces...5,832 to be exact. It measures 91" x 106". [ATTACH=CONFIG]576925[/ATTACH]

Oh wow, it is gorgeous!!! Your attention to all those teeny pieces is like no others I've ever seen!

Wow, all those tiny pieces, and the result is a beautiful quilt.

Beautiful quilt. Love the colors.

WOW, love it, so many tiny pieces, great job.

oksewglad,, It is awesome and I am gobsmacked.

Beautiful quilt, can't imagine all those little pieces. You have a lot of patience.

I think I would go crazy doing 9 nine patches per block.Let alone at one inch. Spectacular looking!!

Incredible! How long did that take to make?

Wow what a beauty!

Gorgeous quilt. Your are very talented and patient.

Thanks for the kind words....I am so drawn to small pieces and the potential they have. These are made from 1" strips and squares that are trimmings. No yardage comes to harm when making these 9P:D. They are random lights and darks with darks in the center and corners.

Zo this picture was taken in Sept of 2013...I keep sets of ten in a pickle jar, keeping track of the # of sets on a post it note inside the bottom of the lid. In early 2015, I counted up and had over 700 9P's I decided to do something with them. My inspiration was this antique quilt. I think I had enough to do this for our queen bed and drew up the pattern in EQ.

By March of 2015, I had the flimsy finished...I did have it LA quilted and put the binding on it in July of last year.

Well now THAT is a thing of beauty! I too love scraps and save every little piece. Very inspiring!

Wow that is just beautiful!

Great work! It looks wonderful.

Stunning quilt. I admire your patience and tenacity. I am inspired to deal with a basket of scraps.

Wow, wow, wow...that takes patience. Can I send you my small scraps? PM me if you want them.

Your quilt is awesome! I love using scraps too

I am enchanted with those long term project that slowly grow over time. I am working on the Farmer's Wife in that way. Just a little here and there. Up to about 80 of the squares but it has been three years.

I like your use of the wee little bits to make a big beauty. I can only imagine the number of of who are looking for an old pickle jar, stick notes and rummaging through out scraps to make our own version of your project. We will check back with you in..... 4 or 5 years and show off our own version of your "big mini".

WMUTeach..one of the purposes of sharing our quilts is to inspire others. So yes I will check back with you in a couple of years! I have started making 9P again, but this time with just 2 fabrics in each block. BTW, it takes a minimum of a 5" strip of dark and 4" of light. I have over 50 in a jar and 80 of the random in the original jar. I am also trying to think of a quilt to make with the 1 1/4" strips I have...leaning towards 4P with them.

Homespun, thanks for the kind offer, but I'm trying to downsize! I have sooo many small pieces, so I decline. My quilt guild friends tell me I need therapy as they hand me their bags of little leftovers. I reply with a thank you and tell them this is my therapy!

WOW! That is alot of pieces and beautifully done. Thx for sharing

Wowzee - all those little pieces. I envy anyone that uses that many little pieces.

What an inspiration for the little pieces - that I now feel guilty for throwing away.

It is beautiful!

You must have the patience of JOB. What a wonderful quilt!

No problem...

Oksewglad- absolutely stunning! Could you possibly post a picture of a close up block. What is the size of one block?

Your work is stunning...as in, amazing in the incredibly small sqaures and your expertise with color and putting them together for gorgeous quilts. Just awesome!

Nice quilt.

Absolutely stunning!

Wow! An heirloom piece for sure. Have it appraised.
