I've always loved this quilt, especially for hanging:<br /><br />http://www.flickr.com/photos/23599965@N05/5598060481<br /><br />It's bold as a total composition, but still has interest in detail.<br /><br />With all the glass I'm also tempted to go for a shattered effect. Something like:<br /><br />http://www.nightwoodny.com/html_pages/gallery_pages/art/art_blade.html<br /><br />I've seen quilts that go for a similar effect, though I can't seem to find any at the moment.Dan Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12732200663031410999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6513356584940430771.post-19037774317432736532011-08-18T17:25:23.530+01:002011-08-18T17:25:23.530+01:00Lily, you crack me up.

In a tiny space nomal batting might look like a down comforter.<br /><br />If you layered fabric on top of felt and then quilted just the two layers would the felt have enough density to create the depth that normal quilting does? I'm thinking that it would be stiff enough to hang prettily, and not so thick that it looks huge.Cindy Sharphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04694393041670847676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6513356584940430771.post-58256229663192799572011-08-18T14:13:31.841+01:002011-08-18T14:13:31.841+01:00I missed all the fun of yesterday's post but c...I missed all the fun of yesterday's post but couldn't have come up with anything new - however, it wouldn't hurt to have a close look at the DQS11 flickr group, I have been amazed at some of those little beauties.Sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00148803101055301234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6513356584940430771.post-65241815639782585132011-08-18T14:05:33.598+01:002011-08-18T14:05:33.598+01:00Aw how cute!!

You received some great suggestions yesterday and you were right to keep the scale a secret initially, but it will matter when you decide what to make. Working in miniature is fun, but angles, points and small pieces can be challenging so you'll want to plan for that. If you decide to do something with more detail, consider foundation piecing - it really helps with the little pieces. If you're quilting it, batting helps show off the stitches by giving it a little dimension. Rather than a true batting, however, try using a piece of flannel. I assume you won't be washing the finished piece, but just in case you should prewash/shrink the flannel.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6513356584940430771.post-73848921570566316832011-08-18T13:59:05.392+01:002011-08-18T13:59:05.392+01:00Wow!

It's going to be a great challenge and the fact that it's small means you can draw a plan to scale - always a plus! I know it's a way off but my one piece of advice about hanging the quilt would be to block it first - it makes a huge difference to how it hangs! The little house/model is really lovely (and the Kaffe quilt will be stunning in it!) - can't wait to see all the quilts, etc. you make for it! Maybe you could make a Grand Designs type walk through so that we can admire your work in it's setting?!Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01551689919091586915noreply@blogger.com
