I don't think I could do them that small, even by hand piecing. LOL
I have a quilt in the planning for the next one. Need to get it together soon, I am a hand quilter only. LOL

Hand quilting fascinates me but I could never get the hang of it. I want to stitch as I would for a satin embroidery stitch. I hand stitched seams that way for years and it is a habit to sew that way. Being able to rock a needle to do that many stitches is something I find hard to do. I hate thimbles for one thing. I used to use the side of one finger for a thimble. It is still thick skin there even tho I dont' do it anymore. I have no problem taking my blood sugar because I don't feel the prick in that finger all that much due to my former sewing habits! LOL

I don't use a thimble, never did, but am trying to learn to use one. My quilt stitches are not tiny,but they are small enough. I am happy with them.
