That is one of the most beautiful mini quilts I've ever seen. Your quilting is amazing. Blue Ribbons all around!

Many have asked if I used paper piecing. Yes! For the main body of the quilt, I did and don't think I could have gotten everything matched up as I did without it. I also used a very fine thread, Bottom Line 60 weight. I pressed with my little Clover iron after each and every seam using a paint brush and starch to get it creased just right. Sometimes a little glue and a hit with the iron to help match up seams that just don't want to stay perfect until you get them stitched. On the border I used freezer paper paper-piecing that you fold as you go so you don't have to deal with any paper removal. You have to be a little nuts to do this, but I've been accused of worse. Try it...you never know until you do.
Thanks everyone for all of the very nice comments.

Boy, words cannot begin to describe how fantastic this is! Must have been some pretty stiff competition for it not to win.
