I made this on Saturday and it is the first time I have ever made a minature and also the first time that I have finished any size sampler. I am pleased at how fun the mini was to do - I did it paper piecing. These are 2 1/2 squares.

This is so cool! I have been attending a paper piecing class for over a year, making a "Civil War - Love Letters" quilt. I have begun to really like paper piecing...and I think for a mini quilt, it would be really advantageous? If you are a regular piecer and now are doing paper piecing, how you you say they compare? Just curious.

Great job! Just beautiful

Sweet :-P

Very pretty. Love the stripe fabric you used. Looks like it has sparkles or is it just the picture? Did you just choose what blocks you wanted to do?

JJean 11-02-2010 07:32 AM

So tiny! So beautiful!

Marcine 11-02-2010 11:36 AM

That is so pretty, and I used the same striped fabric in a fall table runner awhile back. I was wondering how hard is it, using the small pieces? I found a postage stamp mini quilt pattern on line. It uses 2 inch square pieces. Looks fun, and uses 40 different fabrics. Good way to use scrap pieces. Just never did anything so small. Yours is great... :)

candlequilter 11-02-2010 04:44 PM

The mini was really rather easy using the paper piecing method because I didn't have alot of little tiny pieces to be sewing together. I hadn't done any little ones like this before because I was scared that it would be hard to line up the small sizes. But with the paper piecing it gives you extra wiggle room just as long as you have the fabric covering where the line is you sew on. If you haven't tried doing paper piecing these are a great way to try it.

Thanks for all the great comments,
