WOW!!! Those are awfully teeny tiny blocks :D:D:D

i used to play with making earrings and brooches with mini blocks. I bought some more earring backings and pins to try making some again. I haven't done it in years tho. I thought I might put some on my web site if I get time to make any.

If you only have 3 stitches per block, how do you keep it from pulling out?? I know I'd have to do it by hand, but geez :D

well when you have a block that is only 3/4" long 3 stitches is all you have room for. Plus I tacked them on each end also.

What about getting rid of the bulk of the seam allowances Rhonda? I think these are amazing, and thank you for posting the pics. - do you think they are in frames because the turnings are trimmed down to almost nothing?

Those super small quilts are amazing to me.

Rhonda, I remebered when you mentioned you saw these. So I took my little bits and came up with these. The rectangular log cabin is finished 1/4" logs; the two squares inaccurate 1/8"-not paper pieced.

It is so small it is hard to imagine making them.

I love them! I haven't really done that log cabin design in minis. I have used it as a border on hotpads tho. You did a wonderful job on those!
