All that work for a piece that is smaller than a fat quarter! That's my pin cushion on it for scale. I have so much additional respect for people who make full size quilts out of squares this small, like this one for example!
Of course a big part of the reason why it took me so long is that I planned the layout and every square had a specific place I wanted it to be. That meant I couldn't do too much chain piecing because I felt I would quickly get confused about what went where. I could imagine that working in a less planned way would go faster, but no matter what it would be time consuming!
The sad thing is I would like to conclude from that that I shouldn't bother saving scraps this small anymore, but I probably will. I actually kind of liked it, and I could see myself doing this again. Oh the horror.
This quilt is somewhat reminiscent of this one, except that those were five inch squares. I will probably end up doing one in every possible size. Why not.
If anyone thinks that this looks super fun, I have a bag of one inch squares I can send you. I don't know how many squares are in it, but enough to make a good start I think. I'll send it to the first person to express interest, if anyone does!

I do love it Libby but don't think I have your patience - I am working on UFO's but keep thinking about those flower blocks you made - lol !
I certainly love the colors in this piece! but, gee, the squares are small. . .
Great colors. The quilt might be small, but your colors and the way you organized them makes for a dynamic piece. Think of it as a little gem.
i love it! what an excellent display of fabrics!
Love your color placement! It really makes the quilt.
I LOVE this quilt! I have always wanted to do a postage stamp quilt and I've only gotten as far as save a few small squares and scraps.
I finally posted the Lap Quilt Swap IV that hung at Sisters!
