What is the craziest bit of piecing that you have ever done?
Mine has to be this! 276 pieces in 36 square inches when finished, equivalent of a 6″x6″ block. I have worked on it for well over 20 hours now, including the drafting, printing, ironing, cutting, sewing, ironing, sewing, ironing, sewing – you know the drill! I am still to remove all the paper.
Do check in to see what I have been up to! I get back to removing paper from each of those 1/4″ strips you see in the picture ( the remaining four pieces are huge 1″ squares!
Happy quilting to you!
P.S. You can see what I did with all that piecing here.

The final result is stunning, really beautiful! I wonder if a water soluble backing would be easier than picking out all of those tiny pieces? I’d be tempted to machine stitch in the ditch around the larger blocks. I have never before been tempted to tackle a mini, but now you have me intrigued. Again, it is so beautiful.
Thank you, that struck me too, later. It took a whole evening to take out all the paper, including 1/4″ hsts! I have recently got some Misty fuse but have never used it so am not sure if I can print on it?
I tell you minis are seriously addictive, by the way!
