Tiny Bits

Miniature quilts are a favorite of mine. They use less fabric, take less time, take up less room on the wall. They give me a chance to try new designs.

If the sewing and piecing is accurate enough they are no more difficult than full sized quilts.

The Splendid Sampler is 6" blocks, not tiny but smaller than average. The second block of the sampler is made up of 1" finished squares, mostly simple plain squares. If cut and sewed and pressed properly it looks neat and tidy.

Blocks for the 365 Quilt Challenge are both 6" and 3". Some of those blocks are too simple, but others are more intricate.

 

And if they won't look right it doesn't hurt as much to toss them away.
