Making dollhouse miniature quilts from charm packs
One of my most asked questions as a mini-quilter is where do I get my fabric? There are two main issues when it comes to finding fabrics suitable for miniatures: Teeny tiny small prints are of course the holy grail of mini fabric, but they're not always so easy to find! Fabric is usually sold by the metre/yard or at best quarter metre. That's a LOT of fabric if you only need a few square inches for your mini project. Wherever you are in the world, you probably have a quilting shop nearby, or at least online. And if there is, I would recommend looking for charm packs and layer cakes in the pre-cuts section.
