what mary couldn't do on sunday

This nine-patch quilt was a Christmas present from a friend; but look! There's a penny lying on top of it. Yes, the squares are that tiny; the entire quilt is 6 by 7 inches, perfect for a little log bed in a little log cabin dollhouse. The red and white nine-patch squares are less than an inch across, meaning that the individual red and white patches are, well, tiny. The seams are an amazing 1/8 inch.

I was told that the idea behind giving me this quilt was so I would be inspired to make (and share) some miniature quilts. I just hope my eyesight holds up.
