I have seen walls with miniature quilt collections on them and always wanted to do one some day. Well today was the day. I dug out all the miniature quilts I had made and arranged them on my sewing room wall...around a wallhanging that was already there. And I am happy with it.
It makes me want to start a new one. I love miniature quilts. You can test different patterns with less fabric and less time (sometimes). They can be a little tedious, like the black, red and white Monkey Wrench quilt. I unpicked that sooooo many times because I had things backwards, upside down or whatever. But it was worth it because I now enjoy it. It is 15" x 18" and the smallest quit, the pink, yellow and green Hole in the Barn Door is 8" x 9".

Your art display is beautiful. I have several small quilts hanging in a group similiar. Your baskets from the previous post is cute too. I have made several of them. You are right, you can't just make one.
Minature quilts... something I haven't seen or read about in the last couple of years, I just love them, your wall display looks terrific, minatures always look really good when they are displayed together... you have inspired me to get into my cupboard and dig out a couple that I made years ago.. probably not finished knowing me.
Oh Annette this is so cute. I've always wanted to do this too. I like it!
I love your miniature quilts. You displayed them very nicely! I agree that sometimes smaller quilts can actually be harder. You must be more precise, especially if you are doing points.
I love your miniature quilt display!
Annette, your display is gorgeous. So glad you dug them all out & allowed us to see them! Just lovely.
I love your minature quilt display. I've started making some as well and hanging them on a clothes line around my sewing room. Though, each time I see a gorgeous wall like yours I start changing my mind.
You have a lovely collection of miniature quilts. What a wonderful way to display them.
Your quilt dispay is beautiful! What a great idea for showing off all your wonderful work! :0)
So pretty. I love how they're displayed and not stashed away. Good for you.
Annette,
The display of mini quilts looks lovely there on your wall. Great idea
Love, love your wall of quilts. I'm in a Jo's Little Women group at my LQS and I'm determined to do the same thing with the small scale quilts we make there.
Gorgeous!! That wall would be so inspiring to look at while you are creating!! Cathy
Love your mini quilts.
catching up on a lot of posts but I love your mini quilt wall........I now have 2 little quilts for my wall.........
great display. In my old house, I had a disply of small quilts going up the stairway. Here, I haven't done a display but you are inspiring. Maybe I'll have to pull some of mine out and see what I can do. The book, Little Quilts All Around the House by Berg, Von Holt, and Johnson has some clever ideas for displaying little quilts
Cute, cute, cute. I love minis too and for the same reasons. I even use those fancy pins for hanging mine like you do. :)
Annette, since I am new to your blog, I am reading some of your old posts. the miniature quilt wall is on my wish list, and I have collected a few quilts for it. How did you hang them up?
Love your wall. Isn't it fun to see them all together!
