I used French Braid Quilts by Jane Hardy Miller. Sorry about how this thread came thru, but I was just trying to figure out how to do this and didn't think it would really go thru. With this pattern I just cut the size down to 1/4 the size it calls for. I like to make my mini's from regular patterns, just smaller.

An amazing miniature! Great work! Lots of small pieces in the quilt!

I love it! Your fabric placement makes the quilt radiate. Are the cornerstones 1/4" finished?

jillnjo-see another crazy Iowan here!!

Sew glad you got the hang of posting pics right away. I am so anxious to see more.

That is so very pretty.

Yes the corner stones are 1/2". Yes I figured it out for one time.
Love your log cabin you have in your greeting picture. I found it in the miniature page. So small. I love it!

Thanks, almond. Like you I make my own designs by taking a larger idea and downsizing--so does jillnjo. Often when I start mine, I use "precut" pieces--in other words leftovers in my scrap bins ranging from 3/4" to 2". I never know how they will turn out or what colors I will be using. I very seldom cut pieces to make a specific design. You could say they are all scrappy.

sewgarden 01-12-2012 06:59 PM

Oh wow. You sure must be very patient. It is wonderful.

Where do I find this doll quilt swap? I have a real tough time finding things on this site!
Also, I found a paper piecing exchange or challenge, but can't find it again! Can you help me?

cwessel47 01-20-2012 07:35 PM

Yes, yes, yes! This is wonderful. I love the gradations through the tan section. You nailed it!
