87 and Counting!
On August 3, 2010, I stumbled, accidentally onto a sight called Sentimental Stitches. There were patterns for lots of miniature quilt blocks from a depression era quilt. I quickly saved them all off and sewed together the first one. Since then I have tried to make one block each week, slowly building up a nicely sized collection of tiny little blocks. Itty-bitty blocks are highly adorable, but it sure does take a lot of them to make a big quilt! Others have joined in along the way, some to stay and some have fallen by the wayside. While not as popular as the Dear Jane blocks, these little guys are adorable and addictive. Why not give it a try, it is just fabric and thread after all, what's the worst that could happen? I try hard to post a block on Tuesday each week, so pop in to see my newest tiny creations.
Here are some of the others working on the same quilt:
Jill at Darling Jill Quilts
Deb at VTQuilter
Ellen at Little Jewel Quilts
