Same here. I love miniature items. Always have done.
I've had a stab at quilts on a smaller scale and I'm certainly not an expert. I don't know how small you're thinking but these are the ones I've done.
Not really teeny tiny but certainly not big.
I tried them simply to see how it works/if it works. I planned to make another using tiny hexy papers and Liberty lawn...and I might yet try that for this years TSP mini sewalong comp thingy.
I also made one which is now keeping The Sewing Place bear cosy where he lives in DDD. It's on the forum somewhere.
Mine were done on a sewing machine. It's more of an issue to get the accuracy right. There's no wiggle room to match your seams on a smaller scale.
Thicker fabric just shows the seams through more on this scale. That's why I'd like to try the lawn fabric if I do another.
I hand stitched the quilting on the bottom left one....I actually dared to show that one at the Festival of Quilts. It was a few days around my 50th birthday and I dared to go for it. It was worth it to see my daughter do a double-take when she spotted it on show.
I didn't linger by the display in case I overheard anyone's comments but I don't regret showing it. The judges feedback/comments were kind and fair.
Sandra.
