twiglet OFFLINE Posts: 3849 Thank you received: 546	A few episodes ago Laura Wasilowski showed how to do a circular wallhanging using loads of fusible, her forte. So I had a go and made a hanging for a 'chicken craft Christmas swap'. Fun to do and really easy. I used inspiration from Gloria Laughman for the bottom bit, traced chickens from the chicken feed bag and took inspiration from Pinterest for the tree and leaves. It hangs really straight.

So far I have liked doing a knife edge finish fo my minis. I have been thinking about doing a knife edge with a miniature piping on the edge. Have I mentioned that I am thinking of entering both of them into nexts years FoQ, in their relevant classes -just to blow people’s doors off if the find them both

Those copper pennies are awesome. As for Phillips Naylor’s piece, I know that I have seen it at FoQ and yes, her quilting is excellent.

Rosemary, it is acceptable to have an 1/8 th inch or just a tiny bit wider binding on a tiny scale quilt. I found the two quilts that I mentioned online. Copper pennies is not as small as Philippa’s.

I find that a binding that is just a tad larger than 1/8th inch aesthetically looks better. I did do an 1/8 inch binding on a 5” x 12” mini, and wished I had made it wider. Perhaps because it is black and the quilt is more colorful.
