Doll Quilt Swap 2
I had some very good post today. My quilt from the doll quilt swap 2 came. It is so sweet and has all my favourite things - polka dots, cute prints and gorgeous colours. It came from the very talented Paula, and we love it - thank you. Unfortunately, I feel the photos don't do the colours justice, and it still needs a bit of smoothing out after its long journey across the Atlantic, but here they are:
The front.
A detail of the fabrics. As well as the spots there was a great tone on tone child's print with the alphabet, sums and drawings, and there was a thirties style fabric with cute little trains around the nine patch blocks. The same fabric was used for the binding which gives a great framed finish to the quilt
the back
It went really well with Bizzies dolls pram, although I do wish dolly could have smiled a bit more for the photo!
I had a quick look at the referrers to my blog this morning, and noticed some people coming from here and saw our quilt from the first swap is on its way. I can't wait, swaps are great!
You made my day! I had so much fun making that quilt. It's my first doll quilt and the first quilt I machine quilted. I'm so glad you like it.
