Hey to all! Thought I would post an idea that I'm working on. It measures 12 x 18 and is totally hand appliqued. I'm calling it, "Decorating the Tree". What'd y'all think?

Hi Denise, You'll have to be a bit more descriptive. I'm not sure what "inchie" quilts are. :)

My impression of "Hitty" quilts is that they are for dolls. I also think that they have to be less than 8 inches. This is Wikipedia's definition:
Hitty, Her First Hundred Years is a children's novel written by Rachel Field and published in 1929. It won the Newbery Medal for excellence in American children's literature in 1930.
The story was rewritten and updated in 1999 by Susan Jeffers and Rosemary Wells.
[edit]Plot summary
The narrative unfolds through the eyes of a wooden doll named Hitty. Hitty was carved in the early 19th century for a young girl from Maine. The story details Hitty's adventures as she travels from owner to owner over the course of a century. She ends up living in locations as far-flung as Boston, New Orleans, India, and an island in the South Pacific. At various times, she is lost deep under the sea and also under sofa cushions, abandoned in a hayloft, and serves as part of a snake-charmer's act.
The story was inspired by a doll purchased by Field. The doll currently resides at the Stockbridge Library Association in Stockbridge, Massachusetts.

Oooh! Hitty quilts! My mom made two. And she made a couple of the dolls. She is quite the doll,artist. She makes amazing miniature dolls. I also discovered why I can't download any photos of my mini quilts - I use an iPad. I need to use our regular computer.
