Thank you, everyone, for all the compliments. It is paper pieced, and I sewed it on the machine - not by hand.

If you can paper piece, it's not difficult to make a miniature quilt. I hope those of you who like it, will give it a try. You'll be surprised how quickly it goes together.

I have an old book of miniture quilts I think before paper piecing was popular, none of the quilts is nearly as nice as yours.

Great Job! I would love to have the pattern! I have made several mini's, I have actually mastered the 1/8" hectagon for my mini grandmother's flower garden. I have recently purchased about five books on mini's and have done alot of research on the net and have come up with a few from there also. I recently made a 1 1/2" finished friendship star block for projects that are being put together for our Ole Fashion Quilter's Tea on the 19th of this month. So once again I would love to have the beautiful pattern. It is terrific!

Thanks,
Michelle

That minature quilt is great. I have never tried paper piecing, but that quilt makes me want to try. Great job.

That is just amazing!
I know that I would not have the patience to make that. I would frame and hang that. It's just awesome!

You have a very lucky secret sister!!

rootyr 10-16-2010 03:17 AM

Wow!

karenm36 10-16-2010 04:07 AM

That's incredible!!! Really, just how do you work with such tiny pieces and get every thing so lined up PERFECTLY? Is this paper pieced?

SewExtremeSeams 11-06-2010 05:05 PM

Amazing. Is it paper pieced? I love it. :-D

mommamac 11-06-2010 05:06 PM

asmmauer 11-06-2010 05:12 PM

that is amazing it would be so difficult to work with and cut such tiny pieces

MISHNJIM 11-06-2010 05:19 PM

Just Beautiful....I tried joining a miniature swap but couldn't get the hang of it. I still think the directions were wrong, so I've never tried another miniature quilt/block.

Iluv2quilt 11-06-2010 11:19 PM

This is wonderful workmanship, great job! Hard to believe it's so small.

leiladylei54 11-06-2010 11:23 PM
