I do love playing with tiny pieces of fabric. These little four patches are trimmed to one inch square.
You can see a few of them sprinkled in these little blocks.
I'm not sure where this is headed yet but I'm having fun making them.
Tiny Pieces - Tiny Quilt
I've been experimenting with the little one inch cut squares I can cut so quickly with my custom Sizzix die.
When piecing the tiny squares together, the seams can end up making the squares look a little lopsided and lumpy so I'm taking the time to twirl the seams for a flatter finish.
Even with careful piecing and pressing these squares seem to have a life of their own.
I learned a lot in making this 16 inch mini and now have some new ideas and techniques to try in future small scale piecing projects.
This is the first in a series of tiny pieced mini quilts that I have planned.Now, I'm trying to decide how to quilt it. With such small pieces I don't want the quilting to muddy the overall effect. I'm thinking of a variegated for the print squares and white, red, and black in the solid areas to keep the colors there clear and crisp.
