Hi Rosemary! I did not come across correctly... I understood the 1/12th scale part. I was just scratching my head about how I could get the 8" block with its nine sub-blocks down to 0.6666667. What is the smallest you've seen someone make a block for a miniature? and was it still machine stitched or hand stitched? By the way, I still love your Caught Red-Handed quilt!

My Caught Red Handed top - the original blocks were 6" x 6", but I scaled them down to 1/6th scale and made the center small ones 1" x 1". If I had scaled them down to 1/12th then the blocks would have finished at 1/2" x 1/2" - does it make sense now?

Maryjo and Renata, your little quilts are beautiful and adorable! Great work!

Renata and Maryjo, love your little quilts.

I finally got the pictures of the little beauties I bought in Houston from AAQI and I also completed a small quilt from my class with Judith Baker Montanno.

# 10,318 Free Falling by Victoria West from Pfleferville, TX
# 10,966 Hibiscus by JoAnn Stowell from Longview, wa

My new quilt is called Floating. I really enjoyed manipulating the different fabrics and plan to make another in the size for AAQI.{!-- ia0 -->DSC_2251_edited-1.JPG{!-- ia0 -->

Another AAQI quilt (LOL Rosemary--another mini!). I wanted to see how Daniela Stout's method for making blocks from strips would work with one inch strips. I also wanted to try doing a two color binding with a flange. The picture needs turning around a bit so the middle block has the flowers looking up, but you get the idea...

I am very curious to see what you do with the crossstitch panel. It looks pale enough that some bright fabric or bright cording might pop wonderfully. Have fun. Clara

Me too!

and I picked up some other peoples discards yesterday, that I will be using as a base for some more little quilts (see my latest blog for details)

Clara, thanks so much for posting this. What an incredible amount of money raised! I am so proud to have been a tiny part of it.

That is outstanding, Clara. It reflects highly on all those involved--the quilt makers, buyers, sponsors, volunteers, everyone who wants to make a difference!
