Tiny

I'm making a TON of these.
Ooooh! they're so pretty!
I have a dream:
Bordering a quilt with these teeny tiny blocks!
Thankfully the quilt will not be QUEEN sized!

It'll take a LONG time...
but I'm prepared to wait.

In fact, I haven't COUNTED how many I'll need.
I think that would be too discouraging.
I'm just going to sew these precious little things together and
DREAM.

I MAY have to do a little cleaning with that dreaming....
:/

Block stats.
half square triangles are 1 3/4" each.
Eeek!!!!
The little nine patches are about 4 1/4"!!!!

Wish me luck!

  1. Now that you've decided what the borders of the quilt will look like ... what's inside these borders?

  2. Sophie: I have to wait until January to reveal the quilt IF...I can finish it! Adding this intricate border just makes finishing a little bit harder! But...I really LOVE these little blocks...so I'm going to plug along and see if I can do it!

  4. Cute! Love those tiny triangles, but don't know if I'd have the patience for them. Can't wait to see them around a quilt! =)

  5. Very fun with all those bright colors! Teeny is always so cute. I'm sure they'll find a good home someday.

  6. They are pretty and would look wonderful as a border. I thought I was crazy because I started postage stamp. Notice I said started. It's in a box. As I make quilts I cut up the small scraps into 1 1/2" squares. I think I have lots cut. I've made about 10, 6 by 6 squares, and then I set those into a star to make a 9 inch block. Someday I'll do a few more and I think it may just be the center for a quilt.

  8. Ha - great minds think and do alike - I have been prepping 1.5" HSTs (savings from bindings and jelly rolls -race-). And I'm not counting either - just enjoying.

  10. Adorable, Beth! I have a fabric bowl full of these little dooleys that I've been using as leaders/enders. No destination in sight... LOL

  15. You don't need us to wish you luck, you have a great work ethic and get more projects done than anyone I see in blogland!
    Are these "cut offs" from another project or are you cutting them this small on purpose?

    What a great idea to have them ready and waiting for the next project. Wouldn't they make a cute round in a medallion quilt too?

    Happy Sewing and Merry Christmas
