Miniature Storm at Sea quilt

During the  Voices-in-cloth quilt festival 2024 I signed up for the Miniature Storm at Sea quilt presented by teacher Annie du Toit.  It was really an informative class with Annie showing us how easy it in fact is to do miniature quilt blocks using foundation paper piecing.


The completed quilt consist of 9 blocks containing 9 miniature blocks each, totaling 81 petite individual blocks smaller than the palm of one's hand.  With borders attached the completed quilt measures 43 x 43cm (17 x 17").

This is one of the 9 blocks constructed with the 9 miniature blocks.

Looking at the measurements you can see how small they are.




It was a real lovely experience from start to end.  Didn't had problems aligning the points, everything just fitted.  And it takes a fraction of the time of a big quilt. I really enjoyed this challenge.
