We have a miniature section in the Topics Lists. I manage it and if you post a miniature you can add it to the Miniatures section.
Here is the link

I found a lovely golden metal Victorian doll bed, about 7 inches long and the headboard is about 4 inches high.
I'm making the whole thing, mattress, sheets, pillows and a tiny crazy quilt of soft velvets. I've just put a backing in an embroidery hoop and can add whatever I happen to run into to it till it's finished. I want it to cover over and under the pillows and touch the floor on both sides. Sorta like one I saw as a child at an aunt's house, which was a long time ago, but I thought it was so lovely I can still remember it.

I've made a few minis.
If you want patterns, Cindy Edgerton has some here: http://www.averyspecialcollection.com/shop/index.htm
They're paper pieced, and her patterns come preprinted on tissue, like clothing patterns.

Quite frankly, with the amount of money we have to pay for material I think it is a waste of time and money to make a miniature quilt unless it was for a useful purpose such as a place mat. I prefer to make larger items such as a full quilt.However, if it was an art quilt to be used as a wall hanging or framed, then it takes on a different dimension.
