- Machine pieced.
- Hand quilted.
- Batting: 100 % Hobbs bleached cotton. (I used this batting because I had the right size leftover! I find this batting is perfect for my minis. It’s a thin batting which makes it easy to quilt.)
- Finished size: 74 cm. x 62 cm. (29 x 24 inch)
- The finished size of the tiny square is: 1.5 cm. That’s almost 5/8 inch.

What lovely wee quilts, I like it that you put the datails about size batting etc. I'm going to start collecting some precut squares now and keep them in a special place just for whenever I want to do a small doll quilt.
Lucy love the close up
not sure I could ever work that small. I LOVE the look of these small quilts though so maybe I have to just try!
love the fabrics and of course the quilting :)
Just adorable Lucy, and even more delightful up close.

Yes, I agree it's fabulous and adorable Lucy! When you made the top, you said 2.5 cm x 2.5 cm which sent me to my ruler and I figured out it was 1x1" squares. That's something I always tossed, so never again. I got my little tin and started saving! Someday I'll have enough for a mini of my own!
Such beautiful work Lucy...
Are you getting ready for Christmas yet ?
So pretty, like Kathie and Tazzie, just LOVE the close-up. If there are Christmas lights on your street, could you post a picture of it sometime? It must be so pretty.
It's sooooo cute. I love your idea for cutting leftover and keep in a tin can. I started to doing that. It's perfect for my hand piecing project! Thank you for the great idea, Lucy!:-)
Hi Lucy,
wow - I admire your work, it's fabulous! Before I wasn't a fan of small quilts (or even doll quilts) as I didn't really know what to do with them...now - after seeing your gorgeous quilts - I think I love them - such a great opportunity to use scraps & to test different designs...and to challenge yourself to handle smaller pieces. I'll just ignore my significant other who said he doesn't want to have quilts on walls ;o) !
Cheers, Julia
~thank you for inspiring me!
wow! those are tiny squares, it turned out so cute - someone will be glad to have that for a doll quilt.

Wow those are small pieces! Your closeup picture is lovely.
I love the tiny squares you have made. What a wonderful way to use up all the scraps.
Awesome, so cute, so tiny! I'm in love with your quilt. I want it for Christmas! I've been good all year, I swear.
Since finding your blog you've had me wanting to get organised to make mini quilts - I've always saved my scraps, no matter what the size, now I know why - so I see a day somepoint over the holidays where I organise the scraps and cut them down to standard block sizes and store ready for use - oh but what project though to start on that's the BIG problem
Love your work!! VERY inspiring.
Got any tips for machine piecing those tiny pieces??
Lucy, all these quilts are absolutely adorable. And so tiny! Certainly an inspiration.
Your work is so pretty, with those tiny pieces. I love your combination of scrappy, pink and green, it is just very antique looking! Your stitches are lovely...
