This is paper pieced - alot of fun - alot of work. When I started it took me 2 hours to do a 2 inch block! You can take a look at it here and put on your sunglasses! http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-62280-1.htm

Here are some miniature flying geese quilts I made for a doll - the first one was too big for the doll, so I re-made it. The strips of flying geese are paper-pieced and I would definitely stick with paper piecing for patches this small. The finished geese are about 3/4" x 1½"
