Donation mini quilts

I take my bits and pieces and make minis...
The first two for our local hospital. The dolls measure 3" tall. The Log cabin is made from 3/4" logs.[ATTACH=CONFIG]562454[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]562455[/ATTACH]

These two for another fundraiser. The flying geese were paper pieced and measure 1 x 2" finished. The center square of the second is made from 4P measuring 1/2" finished and hand quilted

Looks like you are enjoying the mini process...beautiful projects.

So beautiful. They look like so much fun to do! Wonderful reasons for you to do them.

rvsfan 11-20-2016 05:08 AM

I love them all but the flying geese one is my favorite . probably because I can't accurately make a flying geese of any size . like I already said , I love yours.

zennia 11-20-2016 05:09 AM

Love your mini's. They are fun to make.

Judith1005 11-20-2016 05:18 AM

Oh my word, they are all so pretty. You do beautiful work with such teeny tiny pieces!!!

PaperPrincess 11-20-2016 05:19 AM

Your quilts are just amazing! I don't know which is my favorite!

QuiltingNinaSue 11-20-2016 05:26 AM

Always love your mini-quilts. So much patience and love shows through the lovely work of your quilting. Thanks for sharing.

Mornigstar 11-20-2016 08:22 AM

I have yards of that doll print fabric. Didn't use because no idea how to design . Like your pattern.
Have the clothing to put on dolls so should get to it in summer before it becomes an antique.

lynnie 11-20-2016 08:32 AM

so many tiny , pretty pieces. wonderful!

P-BurgKay 11-20-2016 08:34 AM

Your minis are very nice

barny 11-20-2016 09:06 AM

Boy, are you doing good stuff. I love all of these quilts. You have been busy.

rryder 11-20-2016 09:12 AM

Wow! cool quilts. I don't think I'd have the patience (or the skill) to deal with those tiny pieces.

PPrincess..I see you found this...I was going to let you know I posted this.

Thanks everyone...for you moratorium followers, do you see why I don't need to buy anymore fabric?....it'll take me a millennium to use what I have at this rate....yikes...

I've mentioned this in other mini threads, but I rarely cut dimensional pieces for the basic blocks. Yes my fabric bins are sorted as small as 3/4", 1".....I will mindlessly sew blocks and then decide what to do with them often using pieces from other
sized bins for setting triangles, squares, borders and binding...

I love them all. You have lots of patience!

jamsbuying 11-20-2016 11:57 AM

You do great things with your mini pieces!

ube quilting 11-20-2016 02:28 PM

Your quilts are so awesome and inspiration for me. I just started participating in the mini swap here on the QB and it is so much fun making really little quilts. I wish there was a special thread for minis just because they are special and your quilts are very special.
peace

Veronica 11-20-2016 03:05 PM

Love your little quilts.

coopah 11-20-2016 03:06 PM

Those are sweet. They'll be loved. I still have one from my childhood, and I suspect these will be keepers, too.

barnbum 11-20-2016 03:07 PM

I love them all! Do they use them for a fund raiser or decorating? They'd sure add a home-i-ness to a hospital setting.

oksewglad 11-20-2016 04:38 PM

barnbum...the public buys the quilts, then proceeds go to local projects...a nice way for me to give a little and the community gets a lot...

Sync 11-20-2016 06:07 PM

Awesome minis.

Blue Bell 11-20-2016 06:51 PM

Love your mini quilts. They are all so beautiful and they make a wonderful donation for a fund raiser.

Jane Quilter 11-20-2016 06:51 PM

what beautiful work and great wall art.....you are very talented,

ccthomas 11-20-2016 06:53 PM

Nice mini quilts.

BrendaK 11-20-2016 07:46 PM

Amazing. They are so pretty. BrendaK

twinkie 11-21-2016 03:49 AM

These are so well done. You should be very proud of yourself.

EmiliasNana 11-21-2016 06:19 AM

I admire anyone who can work with such small pieces. I don't consider myself a great piecer, and larger blocks allow me more fudge room LOL Yours are spectacular.

These are really nice - I love miniatures !

feline fanatic 11-21-2016 09:48 AM

You floored me with your 1/2" finished 4P. They are all lovely and amazing once your sizes were disclosed.

needles3thread 11-21-2016 12:56 PM

I love 'em.

Often quilters will purchase them as they understand the amount of time that goes into them.
