Going Small
 

I just finished this little wall hanging, which started as a project from Sally Collins' book, "Mastering Precision Piecing". Never did anything so small! I was pleasantly surprised how well the little blocks came out. I used straight-line and decorative stitches on my DSM to do the quilting. Hope you like it!

well done! Fair warning, doing small work like this changes how your quilting future will go :) A 12" block with 12 pieces suddenly seems WAY to boring :)

Beautiful. Love the quilting. Great job. BrendaK

Wonderful!!!! Looks like about 12 inches square? I have only done blocks as small as 1 inch nothing this small.

Nice - great fabric choices.

Yes. I can see this happening ! And the small ones are much easier to find a place for, both on a wall and in a storage box.

wow, so tiny!!! very nicely done!

wow, you don't realize how small it was till you put a ruler up to it.
Beautiful tiny work. amazing. You made a masterpiece.

Just an amazing quilt, especially that teeny tiny pink border! I have her book and the sample quilts are really incredible.

very nice job!!!

What fun fabrics! Great job!

Those blcoks are tiny. Good Job getting it done !!

Beautiful and creative. Love your fabric choices!

Applause for a job well done! Amazing tiny quilt!

Beautiful! Thanks for the pic showing how small the blocks are, had no idea! You did a fantastic job putting them together!

Beautiful precision piecing-gorgeous fabric and color scheme!

Oh my, I didn't realize how tiny the pieces were until I got to the picture with the ruler. I love the colors you used. Very pretty!

That is a TINY one - and so cute!! I've been doing the QM Bitty blocks and having fun with them, but this is WAY SMALLER! Nice project.

I am just blown away by the precision and your beautiful decorative stitches. Well done!

Amazing work! :)

Such lovely precise work.

Beautiful!!

i agree! took a class w sally years ago. small is now normal, normal is so strange to work on. i have that book also. sallys techniques are so simple & using them makes perfect little blocks. kudos, your quilt is gorgeous!

I love it too - but small can be addicting! It is so neat that you can't tell it's so small in the picture.

Fantastic...Such a wonderful choice of fabric, too. Many don't realise how time-consuming these can be.

I laugh at myself as I can make really small blocks, but to get a 12" block to measure 12 1/2" unfinished is a challenge..yes a whole new world, but it doesn't make a dent in my stash.......

I have always admired Sally Collins. Your quilt is wonderful! You did such a super job.

I'm not one for decorative quilting, but I like yours...Thanks for sharing

Yes! That picture with a ruler is revealing. Amazing!!!

Greaat fabric and color choices

WOW, that really is small. Great job.

Love this piece and using your machine stitches like this is inspired.

A very busy little wall hanging

Fabulous detailed work. Super accurate. And beautiful too!

Absolutely scrumptious! I don't think I could ever do that small but maybe some day.

Beautiful!

HUGE exercise for a very SMALL piece....Love your fabric which incorporates so many colors. It is very sharp! And as has been said, you will not be able to do a 12" or larger block again......LOL!

That is very striking.....

Oh wow....great job. That is really some precise quilting !!!!!

Absolutely amazing! Doing mini's is something I really want to do someday. I just love the challenge behind them.
