I made a quilt!

OK, so it's a doll quilt but it was the first thing on my "must do" list for post-tax season.

It's on it's way to Idaho today.  The Doll Quilt Swap has over 30 members now and each month from April-December we are matched up with someone and make a doll-size quilt for them.  I am using the half-square triangle units I received in an international swap a couple years ago.  At this point, my plan is to use the same 8 x 8 settting but change up the design--pinwheels, 4 patches, etc.  We'll see how many different designs I can come up with.  This is 21" square.

This week I have to make a back for "Peacock Love" so I can get that to the quilter.  And finish the applique' block for Just Takes 2, then get to work on the next set of blocks.  And I have to use my laces for the Judy Murrah challenge--that's due May 1.  Never a dull moment!

What is your favorite quilt pattern?  Do you use it frequently or only for "special" quilts?

Be sure to check out Design Wall Monday with Judy L  to see what others have been doing.

Let's Quilt!

  3. HSTs are so fun to play with, such versatility in those lovelies - people who are afraid of them are missing out. Lovely doll quilt.
