Good day, and welcome to my somewhat neglected blog. I have been busy in my day job and haven't had time to do much sewing or quilting. But i have a little top to share today.
I have signed up for the doll quilt exchange on Lori's Humble Quilts blog (The sign ups are closed now.) In this you make a doll quilt that looks as though it has time traveled from the past, and send it out. Another person makes a doll quilt for you. So reproduction fabrics it is, and I have plenty of those.
I had in mind using leftovers from one of my recent projects, and I searched my disorganized sewing area. I found only a few squares - much less leftovers than I thought. But I did find a box of one inch strips left over from a Courthouse Steps quilt I made a long time ago:
Yes, one inch strips, finishing at 0.5 inches. I also found 2 leftover blocks from that project, and the beginnings of two more blocks. So I finished the two partial blocks, and now have a little top:
That will finish at about 15.5 inches square. My hand quilting skills are not what they used to be, so I think machine quilting and machine binding for this little top. I am ahead of the game - deadline for sending is early May.
Linking up with Melva Loves Scraps, Wednesday Wait Loss, Needle and Thread Thursday, Put your Foot Down at the Quiltery, Nina-Marie, Finished or Not at Alycia Quilts, From Bolt to Beauty, Oh Scrap at Quilting is more Fun than Housework.
