It can be hard to fit everything in, in such limited space, or if you want to do a scaled down quilt the pieces become very small.<br />I am glad you liked the display.

At Yokohama they had toped the drawing with a very shiny piece of organza and then stitched along the crayon lines. It gave the quilt a very 'spacy' look. There was another series of quilts made in the same way but with a drawing of hydrangeas and the organza made the flowers look damp with rainy season moisture.Queeniepatchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13281330411053716603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5631637390313519247.post-30609121801505926802013-11-19T10:02:05.054+09:002013-11-19T10:02:05.054+09:00What does Miniature mean?

At Festival of Quilts in Birmingham it means a scaled down version of a large quilt design within the max size of 30 cm x 30 cm. At Yokohama it is a small quilt of any scale. Maybe because homes are small and cramped in Japan, such items as bags, table runners and small wall hangings are popular.<br />Do feel free to 'steal' some ideas!Queeniepatchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13281330411053716603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5631637390313519247.post-6966777934714787472013-11-19T06:43:40.790+09:002013-11-19T06:43:40.790+09:00This is a beautiful and so interesting collection ...This is a beautiful and so interesting collection of "mini"-quilts - which are not so mini at all.
