That's beautiful! I love the detail in the tiny size. Good job!

Well, I kind of copped out a little on the quilting. I used invisible thread and went between the blocks, stitching in the ditch. They are only 2 1/2 inches apart. The pieces look so much like pleating that I didn't want to distract from the pleated look. I am now working on one that is 5 blocks per inch, it is going to be similar to this one. Since I paper piece, I am even considering not ripping out the paper on the next one, what did you do? I figure it will help stabilize it even more to leave it in. Afterall, there are "old" quilts with newspaper still in them. Just thinking about that as I sew.

I don't call that copping out! I feel the piecework should be the showcase of these small things and yes I often do as you have done with the clear thread and SITD. On this LC I used the serpentine (3 pt zigzag) stitch set at 2 (width) and 2 (length) on my Bernina and stitched with a variegated thread down the diagonal of the blocks and carried this diagonal line out into the borders.
I must confess--I very seldom PP as I don't like to rip out the papers. I just cut my fabrics the size needed. There is no reason why the papers have to come out. Some have printed patterns onto a light weight interfacing so there is no need to take it out. We do what is easiest

Both of the little quilts are beautiful. I'm trying to use up my scraps, doubt I will worry about using up scraps that small. I have large yardage amounts of fabrics I am anxious to use up also.
