Just how large do you think this quilt is? Pictures can be deceiving you know. Actually the quilt is about 11" x 9", just right for a Barbie doll, and is called A Trip Around the World. Did I sew these tiny blocks together? Well, yes and no. This type of quilt is called a postage stamp or watercolor quilt. There are a few steps to making it successfully and rather than take a chance I'd confuse you, here is a website with a tutorial explaining how it is made:
Go to Google, and type in "Tutorial for making watercolor quilts using fusible interfacing", then scroll down to Elizabeth's Fabric Focus ~ Quick-Piece Tiny Squares << Sew Mama...
I have interfacing; may try another with larger squares this time.

My goodness, Charlotte~ from the picture you would think it was big enough for a bed!
ReplyDeleteI'll have to check out the link, I've never heard of that before.
I love the Sew Mama Sew website~ she has some wonderful ideas and neat tips on there.
Hope you all have a wonderful weekend! ((HUGS))
