I am excited to try some miniatures, any ideas?
#1
With the pressure of Christmas off, a little new snowfall, I am dying to get at my stash and try some miniatures for, of all places, my bathroom. I have a frame with five spaces perfect for some creation. Any ideas? Thought I might also tackle a keychain. THAT would stop my hubby from using my carkeys :)

How small is small to you?
A rail fence is an easy beginner minature block. Take 2 light and 1 dark (or viceaversa) 3/4 inch strips 21" long and sew them light dark light together with 1/4 seam allowance. Cut the strip into 1 1/4 inch squares--you will get 16 blocks. Sew the blocks 4 x 4 and the resulting square will finish 3 inches. To set on point make corner triangles. You can build how ever big you want from there with added borders. One of the quilts in this posting is made similarly
