I've been playing around with miniature paper piecing blocks (just to use up the tiny scraps, mostly) and I made these two into magnets. The cat is for a friend who loves cats, and the tea cup is for the lady who taught me paper piecing.

I just made a tiny quilt sandwich and then folded the backing over the front for binding. I tried doing one with a tiny little traditional binding, but it did not go well. :thumbdown:

Thanks, I have this jar of tiny scraps that are odd shapes, too big to throw out but too odd to use for most things, and I am finally getting to use some of them, like for the cat's ears and the cup handle.

I hate to throw fabric out unless it's just snippings that are OBVIOUSLY too small to use, so it makes me happy to find something they're good for.

Great job on your minis!

Rhonda - wow, I'm going to have to keep an eye on those doll quilt swaps. It looks like there is one every month? I can't commit to anything this month, but it's something I'd love to do at some point.

Thanks. I have a fixation on teacup blocks. In fact, the first full-size paper pieced block I made was a teacup. I must not be alone, though, because you see quite a few block patterns with teacups.

They are alot of fun. You should join in when you can. I did for several months and have about 8 little quilts now. I loved it! But I had to bow out for awhile as I got too busy but I intend to get back into it as soon as I can.

Yikes, woman! I'm in awe of your tiny treasures! I don't think I'd have the patience for something so tiny!
