Teeny tiny pineapple block quilts by artist Amy Pabst
Here's some with my hand to give you an idea of scale on each block:
I did get to chat a little with Amy while she was in her gallery zone. She said she works often with silks, including reclaimed ones, and she finger presses her work rather than using an iron. The pastel rainbow piece above is called Soft Pride, measures 41cm x 41cm, has 11,925 pieces, and took her about 4 weeks to make. She does not use a magnifying glass while she works, relying purely on her eyesight, but she does make sure to take regular eye rest breaks every 10-20 minutes.
Sharp Dressed Man; 33cm x 33cm, 5,700 pieces.
