Today I finally finished the 1:12 scale crazy
quilt that I have been working on for the last two or three weeks. The whole
quilt measure 8 1/4 inches x 7 inches or 21cm x 17.5cm and there must be at
least two hundred tiny patches, I haven't counted them all. Each one is
embroidered around all sides just like in a real crazy quilt and the tiny black
edging finishes it all off. The edging was one that I bought in England when we
were there two years ago but it was sky blue, so taking up my husband's
suggestion, I dyed it black and then slip-stitched it around the edges of the
lined quilt once it was dry. I am posting this to both my crazy quilting blog
and my doll's house miniature blog because it fits them both. The straight edge
is the top while the curved bottom edge is designed to go down the end and sides
of a four-poster bed.

method of piecing the tiny patches by hand, using a 3 mm or 1/8 inch seam and
tiny running stitches. |
