Doll quilt





Here is Sienna with her new dolls quilt that i whipped up today. I still need to quilt around each square but have run out of white cotton. I saw the pattern in the new "Patchwork and Stitching" magazine using charm squares. I already had some charm squares that i had brought from Runaway quiltbook and they were perfect for a dolly quilt


WIP- Shaggy edged Quilt


So here it is... finally all cut out and ready to sew. It took a little while to work out which colours looked best together and i decided to keep it all in order not crazy colours everywhere as the pattern suggested
