Mini quilt

A long time ago we were introduced to rubber stamps for foundation piecing. You could stamp your design on paper, tear away stabilizer, or fabric. One of the stamps I bought was the half log cabin block. On these blocks I could use the tiniest scraps left from cutting the colorwash kits that I sold at my workshops.
This shot gives you a perspective of the size of the quilt. It was fun but I don't do these tiny things very often.

I appreciate your patience, working with pieces that small. It certainly is a 'jewel'. The green frames and brings out the beauty of the pastels.

I love mini quilts, foundation piecing and especially log cabins. This one is a big winner for me! I must put one on my "to do" list.

That is adorable, but I don't know if I could have the patience.

I remember when those rubber stamps came out. I didn't buy one but I did buy a kit that had tessellating pine trees stamped on muslin. Add your own fabric.
