I am trying to teach myself miniature quilting. I did this by machine... I have a long way to go... learning not to use strips... even though it is crooked in the main fabric... don't want it crooked here... also I was suppose to end with a 2 1/2 inch block.... mmmmmm didn't happen. My center squares aren't even right... back to the drawing board.... I will get it... any suggestions are welcome... thanks in advance

I can't do a regular size log cabin without it being wonky! I do either paper piecing or foundation piecing to keep them square. Good job for your first try and you must have the patience of Job to be willing to work on something that small!!!

Here is a nice website for miniatures. I took a class from this couple and it was a great. I learned so much.

years ago, i visited the national quilt museum in paducah and was awestruck at the beautiful miniatures there. and before that, when i was beginning to quilt, i had read that miniatures sewers would sew with the 1/4" seam and then cut them back to 1/8" to reduce bulk. i do small quilts, but have not yet mastered a mini
