for several years I have been making "real" quilts -- meaning bed size quilts. Recently, I have been making place mats and wall hangings.
For the last 2 months, I have been doing the mini swap. Total freedom!!! to try off the wall ideas
Look!!! -- I already have an off the wall for the March swap
The way I will be travelling this summer -- SMALL I good

I love mini quilts, I can try any pattern or technique without feeling overwhelmed by the sheer enormity of a larger quilt. Plus, I love the challenge of making true miniatures. I once made a 5" square quilt composed of 4 basket blocks and a couple of borders.

I love your mini quilts, especially your kite. A couple of years ago I was making a kite pincushion for the swap, and yes I had a tail off of it too with bows from scrappy fabric. I loved that little pincushion.

I don't think that there is a certain size for a quilt to be called "real". Wall quilts are fun and quick to make for a break away making larger size quilts. Love the kites flying, I have used that Hoffman plaid it in many Xmas quilts.
