I was talking to a work colleague about quilting and it turns out she and her husband collect miniature quilts, especially those made by Kate Adams. You have to take a look at her website! These quilts are incredibly small; for example, Maine Pine is only 9" square, so what size are the half square triangles? Mind boggling!
I'd like to make a small quilt or two but I have something in mind more like Lori Smith's small quilts. Or possibly one normal block, framed. The smallest pieces must be at least as big as my fingernails! But, oh! I love Kate Adams' mini quilts!

These mini-quilts are extraordinary! I just finished a 25" square quilt -- 3-1/2" log cabin blocks with each log finished at 1/2" -- gigantic compared to some of these. The center squares are about the size of my thumbnail, so I guess they count! Not very well done, but it came out OK: aQuiltersPath.blogspot.com. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteI have admired her work for years, would love to own one!
