Pile of cuttings? No, that one’s huge.
It’s 16 little log cabin blocks made into one block, 15x15cm. I saw an ultra-miniature paper pieced quilt at an expo last year, and wanted to see if I could do something similar. Pencil for size reference:
It wasn’t too hard until it came to sewing the little blocks to each other. That’s when I needed to be precise, and wasn’t, so a fair bit of unpicking had to ensue. I like this one.
Sandy, I did try freezer paper, but it doesn’t work for me. I can’t seem to sew right on the seam, or get sharp points. Maybe it’s just me!
Patches in this block: an ass-whooping 208
Patches so far: 817

Well done! That is smashing! I do love the mini minis but have yet to try one myself. I am afraid that I’d start it and never finish it! Your mini is really terrific!

Gorgeous work! I would love to try a true miniature but I’m not quite ready to unpick at this point in my life!
