This is a picture of the miniature quilt I made for my secret sister in quilt guild. I took a picture of my finger next to the quilt to show the size. (13" x 13"). Each 1 1/2" block has 16 pieces in it.

Great job - I'm still struggling to do regular sizes.

Moonpi 01-09-2008 09:14 AM

My eyes just can't do detailed work like that any more. I am sure your secret sister was amazed and thrilled - that is wonderful!

bj 01-09-2008 09:16 AM

That is wonderful. I can't believe you can work with such small pieces. I don't think my "plow hands" could do it. I am impressed!!!!

The pattern came from a book of miniature quilts, and it only came in one size. I hope you decide to try one. :D
