Holy cow!!!! Do you do this with a magnifying glass? I would think you'd have to. Your work is just amazing!!!

Cute! I'd like to try this for an Alzheimer's Art Quilt Initiative quilt. A micro sampler might be a good choice.

You could do this on the machine. Just use a 3/4" square a 1/4" seam allowance or you could use a 1" and take a slightly deeper seam allowance. You also could strip piece this and that would be easier to do too. Use a strip larger than you need and after you sew two together then cut down to the size you need. It really isn't as hard as it sounds. You can handle a dime and it is about that size. The only problem I had on my Brother was the feeddogs wanted to draw the small stuff down into the holes in them. If you can find a way to avoid that problem it really isn't that difficult to do. I have a Singer with a really small foot and feeddogs so I don't have that problem on my old Singer.

Amazing! Do your eyes and fingers still work? That would be too much for me!

OH MY GOODNESS.. What in the world were you thinking? I love small.. I love minis.. but those are really really tiny. What in the world did you do with the seam allowances? Sew first, then trim? I can see why you love tiny prints!!
