Patchie's Tiny Blocks

"Patchie" in France did the blocks at 2" by hand.

It was fun each week to see her block next to her thimble for scale.

She made tiny quilts (about 5" x 9") of 8 blocks each.




She showed us the back so we could see how she did it---with stitching lines in pencil

It's not only her sewing that's admirable. Her fabric choices are very clever.
