Happy Butterflies Doll Quilt - I finished my latest doll quilt yesterday evening.  That scalloped binding about drove me nuts. I am glad that is over.   Oh, yeah, it's the hard that makes great!  I like it very much.  It measures 21 1/2 X 21 1/4 inches.  The batting is a heavy piece of white flannel. The wings are pieced triangles, bodies are hand applique', antenae are embroideried.  The hardest part was sewing the binding onto the scalloped edge.

The binding on this scalloped quilt is giving me fits, but I think I am passed the worst of it.  I think I may go back to making exploding pineapple quilts! They are much easier. Oh, yeah, Tom Hanks says "If it were easy everyone would do it. It is the hard that makes it great."  Okay, now that I have regrouped my attitude, this quilt is going to be great when I get passed the hard part.  I should have a photo posted before I go on a roadtrip with my daughter, beginning August 2nd.  See ya!

2010 Bear Paw Doll Quilt - It would seem that I neglected to put the bear paw doll quilt on here.  Well, the more doll quilts the merrier!  Here it is!  I finished this on April 5, 2010. It is one of Kirsten's quilts, naturally.  If someone would just get me a Molly doll, then I can make some for her.  Wouldn't that be fantastic!?

Kirsten Larson is about to get another quilt for her doll bed!  I have not taken any photos yet, but the fabrics are white with yellow petals, orange tone-on-tone, and bright orange floral.  I pieced the butterfly wings, and made the corners all match perfectly, then I hand appliqued the butterfly bodies over the tops of the perfectly matched corners, so no one will ever see them.  :)
Kattie is out of town, but will proud of for actually hand aplliquing on this quilt instead of using the zig-zag feature on my 30-year-old Singer sewing machine.  This will be a sweet and delicate doll quilt, indeed.
