Pat, my goodness. Our conservative Pat has become absolutely brazen. I pondered your creation a long time studying the way you'd turned the big (yeah, right) blocks this way and that to be fascinating and dazzling. Your color palette is stunning. And then, of course, there's the minor fact that the creation is 20" square. I love watching you grow. Polly

"Dannielle" > I have mentioned this little quilt a few times lately - the end was in

What? At 1.5"? I don't think so. They're pretty reasonably sized >g< Wait till you see that mini Dear Jane that I thought of when we were chatting about Dear Jane's the other day. It will be called 'Just for Fun'!! Some of the DJ blocks are do-able at 1"; so I thought I'd do just few with an eighth of an inch sashing. It would be sweet and interesting to do - alongside my almost full size one >g< . In message , Roberta writes

Gorgeous! As usual, :) . I love the colors you chose.

Either the colors on my monitor are going nut-zo (it looks like the blue section is going in and out) or I'm getting a migraine.

Butterfly (Won't even think of what size those 9-patches are if the rest of them are 1")

Roberta was almost right - you are not probably certifiable - you are definitely certifiable!!!

I love your nine-patch, though. Let's hope you have time to do a few more quilts before the men in the white coats knock on your door:-)

That is gorgeous. I can't imagine working with that many tiny pieces.

Now we all KNOW you are certifiable. LOL

That made my heart sing this morning! What a beautiful piece of work. Someday (I've said THAT before) I really want to do a miniature, and you definitely inspire me.

Flipping cheek!

I used a foundation piecing method shown on Simply Quilts by Anita Grossman Solomon, where the rows are all on the same piece of paper, and there is room for joining seams between the rows. You join the rows with the paper still in. It isn't nearly as fiddly, and doing the centre row in the opposite direction (numerically) to the other two, gives you nice nesting potential. It's a great method when you have sections to join. . In message , maryd writes

Well, Louise, one day you will I'm sure. Just make sure it's not going to be *too* fiddly. My things may be small, but they are usually fairly simple - just reduced! I don't do miniature curved piecing for instance!! . In message , Louise in Iowa writes

Thanks Danielle. Yes, it did take a long time, as I have to go so slowly doing these little works. The quilting takes longer too, as I use tiny stitches for that also - to try to keep the scale.

You'll get some time one day, when the children are older. . In message , Dannielle writes

Thanks Polly. It didn't *feel* too outlandish, as I used all Fossil Fern - so I was well within my comfort zone!! but, I just loved the colour progression. . In message , Polly Esther writes

Glad you like it! but don't you go spreading that rumour around!! . In message , Roberta writes

Thanks Sunny. It's quite tricky to find colour change from one to another with six or so definite differences. I had thought I might use the Hoffman Ombre, but the distinction was so slight it was almost not there. . In message , Sunny writes
