I thoroughly enjoy the miniature quilts juried into the Paducah show. So very impressive!! So very tiny!! This year the miniature quilts were in glass cases. A wise idea but it did make photographs difficult.
Here is my hexies quilt! 🙂 The hexagons (over 2000 of them!) are 1/4″ per side. This whole quilt was only about 14″ per side. I like the baskets of flowers layout.
This winner is a wholecloth quilt with the design created by the black thread. Even the binding has a decorative machine stitch around it. This one was about 14″ square. Well, about the size of those large ribbons.
Beautiful quilting and the color choices are dynamic! Hand applique. A larger quilt in the category… 20″ or so.
This is seriously tiny — 49 pieces in each 1″ block.
The block inside this circle would be one block = 1″ square. Click to enlarge the photo.
This quilter entered many in the wallhanging category with her kids and dog and this one in the miniature category. Cuteness!!
Fused machine applique with hand & machine embroidery and hand embroidered loop border. Probably only 11 x 14″.
Do you make miniatures? Do you like them or only prefer to make & see full-sized quilts?
and sew on... 
I did a small wall hanging — wound up around 14″ square, maybe a bit smaller — but the piecing in it was full sized piecing, more like doing a 12″ or 14″ block and finishing it as a quilt. So, not truly a miniature, right?
I like the small format, but scaling the whole thing down….yowsers, that looks hard! I can’t imagine working with pieces that tiny. Beautiful work on these though!
Awesome quilts. I love most of all, the Hexagon quilt!
Oh my goodness. Those are seriously TINY pieces of material to quilt. I cannot imagine doing that sort of work. So, while I’d like to make a quilted wall hanging or two, I cannot ever see myself work with pieces that small!
These minis are incredible! I haven’t made a mini in years! I love the wholecloth. Thanks for sharing your photos with us poor souls who didn’t get to Paducah!
