I am loving all the gorgeous doll quilts that I am seeing around at the moment. As I don’t have anything new to share, I thought I would dig up some old favourites!
A few years ago, I was going through a Miniature Patchwork phase – which is a great way to use up all those teeny tiny bits of fabric that one saves – just in case!
I made this Starry Patchwork mat that Sarah uses on her bedside table. Each star is 3 inches square and I made it out of a mix of lovely hand dyed fabrics and batiks. Sarah is planning a bedroom makeover so I might get to reclaim it soon.
I love this little red and cream paper pieced miniature. Each block is 3 inch square.
Lisa wanted to know what our view of the Indian Ocean looked like. I haven’t had a chance to take any photos myself but I got this pic from a tourist website. We live about 500 m away from this………..

O.K. – I know…”Thou shalt not covet” – right, but c’mon with a view like that…how can I not! I love the starry bedside quilt you made. I don’t think I’ll ever try anything that elaborate. I almost had a coronary making the 9 patch for my mom. 🙂
I love these quilts! How wonderful to be able to raise your family in such a beautiful place.
Oh Lisa they are gorgeous. So tiny. Not sure that I could work with pieces that small.
Thank you for sharing your view. Now we are all jealous!!!!
I love the colour combination on that top quilt. Its so pretty.
I love that starry quilt! Batiks are some of my favorite fabric to use in quilts-Where did you find the pattern? I’d love to make one.
I love those little quilts! How lovely! somehow that photo didn’t show up for me! Phooey! will have to wait on some real photos from you (no pressure!)
Well, I take that back. The photo popped up when I went back to your post. It looks absolutely beautiful!!!~! How lucky you are!!!!!!!!
You live in a wonderful place with a gorgeous view! Love your mini quilts!
beautiful quilts and oh that view. that is amazing!
Those quilts are so beautiful! I like miniature anything. I tease my mom that it’s silly to cut perfectly good material all apart just to sew it all back together – but that’s because I can’t!
Red is my absolute favorite color. Where did you get the pattern for the red square in a square mini quilt? It is wonderful!!!
great minatures……….
What a great view you’ve got! And I love the mini quilts, too.
I’ve been experimenting with minis. I was wondering…do you press seams open? My tiny pinwheels were a bit lumpy with all the seams coming together. Maybe you have some sage advice..
I am fascinated by the mini-quilts. They seem like such an amazing amount of work.
That view is fabulous. I think I have been there when I visited Perth a few years back.
Those quilts are beautiful – did you have a pattern or just wing it? And the view of the ocean is fantastic – wish I had an ocean by me…

I love the starry quilt! I am doing a mini quilt at the moment, but I am cheating a bit because mine has larger pieces lol 😀
I know that scene well… Mmmm Sharkys Fish and Chips 🙂
Thats a lovely view of the ocean.. i think the red quilt is my fave although they are both lovely. There is now no chocolate in the house 🙂

what beautiful quilts! those little pieces are put together so perfectly, how do you do it with such tiny pieces?!
Lisa I just love the little stars! They are my favorites!
Great quilting – I’m particularly fond of the striking colors in the red and cream paper pieced miniature. Very striking combo, really love it.
I love the star quilt especially the stitching on top!
I love being near the water, couldnt imagine living anywhere else.
Your starry quilt is heavenly. What a good idea to use up leftovers effectively. You live in a beautiful place.
Hi Lisa – what a fantastic view from your front door 🙂 Yours is so blue – ours is so green – we over look bush before you start seeing the houses up the valley. I haven’t tried a minature quilt yet – though have a couple of patterns to add to the “projects to tackle” pile. Hugs Julz x
Your quilts are gorgeous and what a beautiful view you have too!
The quilts are beautiful! Wow your view is just wonderful!
Those quilts are beautiful. I dont know if I would have the patience to cut out each 3″ square. Impressive!
That picture is beautiful. I love the lighting of the sky and the lamp.
Cheers Kyla
Cute clever Starry quilt. I also would love to make one tutorial?
I have tons of tiny scraps that I can’t bear to throw away. I think I need to try something like this. Did you hand sew or machine piece the quilt?
It is gorgeous!
And your view is amazing!!!!!
Those quilts are wonderful!!! I love your blog, so many amazing crafty projects!
oh lucky you! it looks like a beautiful place to live!
