Are You Ready for Some More Quilts?

Published August 8, 2007 Embroidery , Fiber Crafts , In the Mailbox , Sewing , Swaps 13 Comments

I’ve got two to show today. First up is the quilt I sent to Jhoanna as part of the Doll Quilt Swap II. She left it up to me as to what to send her. I found these fabrics designed by Joel Dewberry and then was inspired by a post on Amy Karol‘s blog. I loved making all those french knots.

Quilt number two is the gorgeous doll quilt I received from Jenni as part of the same swap:

I think she was worried I wouldn’t like it but I love it. I am always amazed with triangles in quilts — they are really finicky to do — and all of Jenni’s are lined up beautifully. I love the civil war reproduction feel of it and I can’t get over the little touch of lavender in the fabrics. For some reason that just makes it for me.

Lovely quilts….doll quilts seem like a nice way to get into quilting as they aren’t too big but you can still do so much as evidenced by htese 2 beauties. Thanks for sharing!

The quilts are fantastic! I love the turquoise “buttons” on your quilt!

Both are so beautiful and artistic. A doll quilt seems a great way to try a new pattern.

These are beautiful! When you make these doll quilts, what size are they? I would like to do some quilting and these little ones seem like a good place to start.

I absolutely LOVE the colors in the quilt you made ~ well I LOVE the little quilt itself too! I’m so glad a friend sent a link to this site. I enjoy handsewing and handquilting(on a small scale!) ~ actually I enjoy any kind of handwork. The doll bed in the previous post is wonderful as well.
