    If you go to Home and then scroll down below the first section there is a bar with the link for User Defined Sections. You will find sections here that are managed by members. I have one for Miniature Quilts. I add any miniature quilt threads I find to this section so you can find all them in one place. I think I also left this one open so anyone can add a thread to the list.

    You can find alot of good info and inspiration here from members who make minis.

    http://www.quiltingboard.com/tags/mi...+quilting.html

    the last 4 sections are mine and you will find all my tutorials and pictures of the things I make there.

    Also if you are on a thread that is about a mini chances are I added it to the mini section. if so you can scroll down on that thread and at the bottom you will find a tag for the mini section. you can click on that tag and it will take you to that section.

    I love miniatures, but have not made one... when I finish a few overdue UFOs I intend to go to Rhonda's tutorials and give it a try! That said, if there was a class taught by someone who I'd already found to be a good instructor, I would definitely take a day off and take the class!! Thanks everyone for talking about minis!!!!

    thanks for all the great info... I am going to have fun looking into all of this! I am becoming more excited about minis and am probably going to take a vacation day to attend the class!

    Never, ever in my whole life, have I been tempted to do a miniature. Good luck!

    I LOVE making miniature quilts!

    I second the suggestion to check out George Siciliano. He does amazing work, and has beautiful patterns for sale on his site. I own several of them, but haven't had a chance to make one yet.

    Cindy Edgerton makes minis and sells paper-piecing patterns. Here is her website. I made one of her patterns, a diamond log cabin. The logs are 1/4" wide.

    And, as another poster said, you can always shrink regular patterns down. Here's one I made to be included in a fundraiser for a local hospital. It's a feathered star, and it finished at 5".
