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.

That is so pretty! I love the pink and brown combination. It will be fun to see what the swap brings to you!
Very nice, Andrea. I've joined that swap, too, and finished mine last evening.
Adorable little quilt, looks like a very well preserved antique! Chocolate brown and double pink are a perfect combination.
What a great swap and what an awesome way to use a couple of leftover blocks! Your top is super cute!!!
