Doll quilt for a swap that I'm in. It's supposed to be a disappearing nine patch. I used 30's and 40's reproductions and channel quilted it.
I think that I'll use either a red or pink for the binding. Sure hope that my swap partner will like it.

p.s. I know that the picture quality isn't the best so later I'll take another shot and hopefully it'll be better.

p.s.s. The first p.s. is for you Kel.

Saturday Evening....

Haven't posted anything for a while. Had been feeling under the weather; had a couple of mini strokes, but no lasting damage and I am feeling better. Just had a week off, April Vacation you know. As much as I love my job working with special needs children, I always enjoy my time off.
I am working on a quilt for a swap I'm in. I'm trying to decide how I want to quilt it. I'm leaning toward old fashioned utility stitches. I really like how that looks and it probably wouldn't take too long since I'm only working on a doll size quilt. I do have some pictures in my camera that I need to download tomorrow, hopefully. Plus, I'll take some of the current quilt I'm working on.

A doll quilt that I just finished today. I used several different reproduction fabrics. I love the colors.

with all sorts of pretty 30s and 40s reproduction fabric. I like it so much that I've cut extras for another quilt or two.

I forgot to take a picture of this little quilt after I finished hand stitching it and before I sent it.. In my opinion this picture doesn't do it justice. The lighting wasn't right and the color I chose to photograph it against was all wrong and ..... oh well, live and learn.
I really hope that my partner likes it. I realize that lime green or whatever you chose to name this color isn't everyone's cup of tea; but I love it and couldn't resist using it. If she hates it I'll offer to make her another one.

This is the quilting on the back of my newest doll quilt made for a swap. I used red thread to do the quilting, which I wasn't too sure about but now that it's quilted, I'm finding that I like it that way.
