    I have been looking at everyone's Doll quilts and I decided to share a mini wall hanging I made several years ago. I was doing everything by hand then and doing alot of what I call micro mini work. The quilt measures 26" square and the sampler blocks are 2" square. I was making billfolds back then by hand and my blocks within each mini quilt were usually 3/4" unfinished and 1/4" finished. So I love samplers and decided to take what I was doing on the billfolds and use it on a sampler. Tho the blocks in the pieced quilt blocks here are more 5/8".
    I don't do this much anymore -I do everything on my antique Singer now so I don't do it quite this small anymore.

    I have shown these before but thought I would include them for the newer members to see.
    These are billfolds I used and they show the wear and tear but I wanted to share some of what I used to make.

    Here is another one. Again it shows wear and tear and they have long since been retired to a keepsake.

    Hi Muffins yes I think any of my "blocks" are easy enough for a beginner. The steps are easy and then you just need to join blocks together into a Quilt Block. You can use any size template.
    I would suggest you try one of my free tutorials to see if you like the methods. and then you will have an idea of what is involved before you buy anything.
    If you have any questions I am usually here to answer. I love sharing what I do with other quilters and I wanted to show people how easy and great these shortcuts are!

    If you haven't signed up - you can sign up for Konstatin's(admin) newsletter Quilted Paradise. You will see a link above for the newsletter.
    There are lots of great free info and lots of good projects to try!

    Sorry Muffins I didn't answer all of your question. To order you click on the banner and it will take you to the sales page. Then Konstatin sends you a link and you can download the EBook from this link. Then you can print out the EBook. I have printed out the book for a couple of people who had problems getting it to download but generally you do it on your printer. If you need anything just let me or Admin-Konstatin know and one of us will help!
