This was funny...I was driving in an area where big signs were posted, "Lock your car! Hide valuables!" So....I put all my fat quarters I had just purchased in the glove box and locked them in. I thought about that later...Hee!! You can see what I think is valuable! I got these for $1.00 each at my local quilt shop, a huge sale is underway. Pretty!!
This is how far I have gotten on the miniature quilt. Each little section of the border measures 1/2 inch. It is very labor intensive! I could have made two full sized tops in the time that it has taken me to make a reasonably accurate miniature. I have learned so much, though. Don't stretch the pieces! Cut and sew very accurately. The 1/4 inch seam allowance is a key, and trim the seams to smaller than that, almost to 1/8Th inch. It is shaping up....Hope everyone has a wonderful day! Remember to hide your valuables!!

You can not always put a $ amount of some items...just like our quilts - they may be from scraps completely - so cost wise - not much.
Love that little quilt...I would need someone to hold a magnifying glass for me to make one that small.
Great work there Lady!
That miniature is turning out SO nicely. You should be proud of how precise your work is on this project!
You couldn't be any cute-er! That's a fun story.
Okay can I say how impressed I am with you latest little quilt? You effort and focus to detail is really showing up and paying off.
Be Proud with Love, *karendianne.

That is so funny! That sounds like something I would do!!!

I totally understand what you think is valuable. I always lock up my purchases from the quilt shop in the car.
Your mini quilt is beautiful, and I admire you so much for working away on something soooooo teeny!
This is gorgeous!!!!!
