This little quilt measure 9 inches square. It has 49 blocks that measure ONE inch each.The design is "Pineapple" and is paper pieced, and there is 1250 little pieces sewn to-gether. It took quite a long time complete this little work of art. I am known around here for my miniatures, and the smaller the better.
The title is "One Thousand ,Two Hundred & Fifty Pieces Of Amish Pineapple"

Beauty, happiness, pleasure, success, luxury, dissipation.
The Empress is associated with Venus, the feminine planet, so it represents, beauty, charm, pleasure, luxury, and delight. You may be good at home decorating, art or anything to do with making things beautiful.
The Empress is a creator, be it creation of life, of romance, of art or business. While the Magician is the primal spark, the idea made real, and the High Priestess is the one who gives the idea a form, the Empress is the womb where it gestates and grows till it is ready to be born. This is why her symbol is Venus, goddess of beautiful things as well as love. Even so, the Empress is more Demeter, goddess of abundance, then sensual Venus. She is the giver of Earthly gifts, yet at the same time, she can, in anger withhold, as Demeter did when her daughter, Persephone, was kidnapped. In fury and grief, she kept the Earth barren till her child was returned to her.

That is gorgeous. Quite an accomplishment. When I started making pieced quilt blocks about 15 years ago, I worked on a small scale (not as tiny as yours). The owner of a local quilt shop told me that the smaller the blocks, the more precise you had to be.
BTW, I received the lovely brooch you made for me. Thank you so much. I will post it on my blog soon.
Cheers
