I'm sure I wouldn't. WOW! That is awesome.

You can tell this is a lady who has it all together
I'm looking for an egg carton. Great idea!

Tink74 07-08-2011 03:52 AM

Amazing!! I have to ask? What technique? English Paper Pieced or something else?

catladyquilts 07-08-2011 03:56 AM

Those are awesome, I have trouble with the 3/4" she does great work, love the egg carton idea

Dotsie 07-08-2011 04:31 AM

My fingers and hands are cramping, just looking at those teeny GFG. How wonderful that she can do that tiny work and won't that bitty quilt just be a wonder.

TacoMama 07-08-2011 06:17 AM

Sally Collins would be proud!!!!!

Jingle 07-08-2011 06:21 AM

Very pretty, my patience, or lack of it would not let me do something like that. Great others can.

matraina 07-08-2011 06:56 AM

They are beautiful. When I see 1/4", I know I'd never try it. Your mom must love intricate things.

jillaine 07-08-2011 07:02 AM

yowzer! my eyes hurt just thinking about making those. I can't wait to see the finished quilt. THAT'S AMAZING!

Chasing Hawk 07-08-2011 07:05 AM

Wow!!

JCL in FL 07-08-2011 07:25 AM

I'm not sure after all that work I'd let a little child have it. I'd make her a simpler one and save that as a wall hanging or something. It's going to be awesome.

Butterfli19 07-08-2011 07:30 AM

That's insanely adorable! I hope you post the finished quilt!

Quiltbeagle 07-08-2011 07:47 AM

Wow, those are so small! Kudos to your mom for being able to work with something to tiny. Please post the finished quilt!

GladGrams 07-08-2011 08:31 AM

May your mother be sainted... That is love in action.

That's just NUTS!!!!! :-D

fuzzymom 07-08-2011 10:01 AM

My eyes and finger hurt already.

Bless her for making something so special for a doll.
That is precious.
