This inspired me to make one. It was fun, and every bit as easy as you made it look. I like that you can make it as simple or as detailed as you want. Mini art quilts!

I love this idea! What a neat way to send someone a keepsake- and several tied with ribbon would make a wonderful gift for office, church, or neighborhood gift exchanges. :-)
