That's pretty amazing!!! I love anything miniature, but that is really is amazing! and beautiful!
You could always really play around with hubby and tell him you're making mini quilts to decorate a Doll House. When he asks who's you can tell him "Mine of course, I've decided to take up a new hobby. Oh and by the way, I'll be needing the check book." :wink:

Thank you everyone!
I'm here to tell you there are no small pieces when you're using the paper piecing method to make these minis. You don't use a small piece of fabric just a reasonable size. After you sew the chunk-o-fabric to the project then you trim it back and eventually it becomes miniscule! If you can see to stitch on a line drawn on a piece of paper you can do this. Trust me! :lol: I don't think I'll ever try to make one of these without using PP!

jbsstrawberry, You are positively evil! :mrgreen: I like it!

Well, if you don't want to decorate a doll house, you could always give me the 'quiltlet' to use in my doll house. :-)

I like it a lot!

This quilter's board has such nice people, always there willing to help! :lol: That's okay though, Lisae. I think I'll just hang it on the wall with a couple more. It'd probably be to large for a doll house anyway.

My second mini quilt.
I am taking breaks from working on the big blue quilt!
This new mini will finish at 5.5" X 7.5" just slightly smaller than shoo-fly.

Yvonne,
I love the scrappy look of your second mini. They are both so darn cute, and your work is beautiful.

That is amazing. Don't tell anyone you didn't work with tiny pieces!! Admirers don't need all the facts. Just smile sweetly.... :D
