I wondered why so many enjoyed making miniatures and now I know! :-) Yep! I'm hooked and plan on making some others for Christmas gifts. This one is made from the fabric Grandma gave me so I'm going to have it framed and hang it in my sewing room. That way when I'm in there working on a project Grandma will be making sure I do everything right. ;-) Lily, my supervisor, fell asleep on the job and and I now have pictures to prove it. LOL!!

So cute...and the quilt too...

I also never thought of doing mini DQ's and then joined my first DQ swap in Feb. Now I'm addicted...so easy so much fun

Really cute! :thumbup: :D :thumbup:

Cute

Very nice miniature :)

Christine

May I ask where you've found your patterns?

cute quilt... and the dog too

very cute

Very pretty 'LITTLE' Quilt! But That doesn't Look like My 'Lily'? (See Avatar) :lol: You have a Nice looking Doggie!!

What a precious mini! And to have fabric from your G'ma makes it even more so. What size are your squares?

I make lots of miniatures and usually come up with patterns on my own. I was first inspired with the Minature Quilts magazine years ago but it's no longer in print.

Some sources for larger patterns
1. The "Little Quilts" ladies from Marietta, GA have several publications. http://www.littlequilts.com/
2. Lori Smith--http://www.frommyhearttoyourhands.com/Qstore/Qstore.cgi
3. Kathleen Tracy--http://www.countrylanequilts.com/
4. Darlene Zimmerman--http://www.feedsacklady.com/

So cute

Cute mini! Enough to get you hooked?!

Cute

The squares are 4" finished. Thanks for the links. :-)

Thanks everybody for the wonderful comments. I had so much fun doing this so will have to start another soon. ;-)

You did a great job! How nice to have such a sweet and beautiful handmade piece in your sewing room to remind you of your Grandmother! Thanks for sharing!

I like "Confusion". Think that will be my next project to use up some more of the fabric I have from Grandma. :thumbup: I have 2 boxes from her and there are no pieces large enough to make a regular size quilt. Thanks for the ideas. :-)

Thanks....and yes I'm hooked. :D

Did you have a pattern for this? If so, what is it called? I am wanting to make a variety of mini quilts to hang in my office at work and I love this one. Please let me know if you had a pattern or not. Thanks.

Darling quilt.

Here's the link for the pattern. http://quilting.about.com/od/miniatu...wind_quilt.htm I don't know what happened since the blocks are paper pieced but when I tried to put them together they didn't make the design that's on the site. I thought it was still pretty so went ahead and put it together and quilted it.

Thanks.
