gorgeous.
How exactly do you do these small quilts?
Is it all paper pieced?

They ARE QUILTS and they're beautiful. Next time, tell that person to #@#@#!! You do great work and should be proud of it.

A quilt is a type of bedding composed several layers generally combined using the technique of quilting. Many are made with decorative designs, and some of these are not used as bed covering at all, but are rather made to be hung on a wall or otherwise displayed. Thank you Wikipedia! (I think they are lovely)

A quilt is not a size, but it's about fabric manipulation; taking layers of material and bonding it together with stitches. I think I would find another guild to join, or get a dictionary out and show them what a quilt is.

Here at the Birmingham Festival of quilts it was a minature quilt that won best in show, which is the top prize. It was no more than 12 inches square

I just love your second QUILT. They certainly are quilts as far as I'm concerned. Same skills, smaller scale.
