I saw these in a local quilt shop but didn't have my camera with me. I just found them in another quilt shop yesterday and had my camera so I took photos.
These are just amazing to me!! They are all no larger than 1 1/2" and most are closer to 1". You can kind of tell in the picture how small they are in comparison to the jewelry hanging close by. The lady that makes them puts them in these little boxes that have a keychain loop on them. These are paper pieced. These designs are in the book Small Blocks Stunning Quilts Amazing!

WOW So tiny :shock: I can not imagine working with something so small
|
My eyesight and fat fingers wouldn't let me work on something that small. :)
|
Wow - you could almost make them into earrings! What patience she must have.

I made a lot of trifold and bifold billfolds back then. These are some I used for a while and they are in sad shape! But I still love them. I made all the tops with 1/8" blocks. I used 3/4" squares and it only took 3 stitches per seam!! LOL When putting two blocks together that is! Back side of the one above. Blocks are 1/8" [ATTACH=CONFIG]7018[/ATTACH] This one was 1/8" blocks [ATTACH=CONFIG]12985[/ATTACH] These blocks were 1 1/2" [ATTACH=CONFIG]12986[/ATTACH] These are 1 1/2" also [ATTACH=CONFIG]13040[/ATTACH] |

Those are cute! |
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

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.
