Look what I made in one evening, a doll quilt! I love to sew small quilts. They go together quickly and helps you learn what fabrics work together. I wanted to make a quilt that was not so scrappy and busy. Now that the top is finished I think it is too neat, too controlled, not so my style! I think it will look better after it is hand quilted and washed and dried in the dryer. I'm hoping that the handquilting and the dryer will give the antique look I love.

I just love what you "throw" together...it is darling!
Lucy it is just lovely, I also admire what you quickly put together! You have a talent that I find charming. Can't wait to see this quilt out of the dryer and hand quilted!
Oh, the colors are so darling, I love it!!
I just love those colours and that green especially.
I agree your little quilt is charming and will take on a new personality when it is quilted :-)
Cheers

Cute, cute, cute. Looks antique to me. Your quilts are stunning.
This is very cute! I'm working on a doll quilt, but I can see now that it is too scrappy, too heavy. Thank you for sharing your photos and your thoughts!
I love it, fine you are back on the blog

Lucy, Another masterpiece as far as I am concerned. I love the neatness and control - its what I am aiming for - I guess I haven't been quilting long enough to want it any other way.
I like it a lot, especially the color choices, and think you will be happy when it is finished and washed once.....But perhaps it is not quite as scrappy as usual, not as "maverick". But it is soothing and happy feeling which is something I always think the old-fashioned quilts were supposed to be, comforters.
I think it is fun to make the little quilts you can hang up together. You can see what you like best in them or don't like so well, without the big investment in a huge quilt. I think you are an artist, lucy.
It is great to have two posts from you so close togetether.
This is so sweet and old-fashioned. I can just picture it in a nursery a hundred years ago! Well done.

Its lovely and will look great quilted and washed. Sometimes it's good to work a little out of the comfort zone.
Lucy, this is so super cute. I just posted a link to this from my blog. Adorable! (as always)
A really darling quilt! Love the colors,and really like the effect of those brown strips at the top and bottom.
Your windmills are lovely. It will be so beautiful handquilted. You make such beautiful quilts.
Have just discovered your blog and your doll quilt is absolutely adorable.
Wat een leuk quiltje weer. Met die kleine quiltjes is het inderdaad leuk om eens wat anders uit te proberen met de kleuren, veel succes met quilten.
It's really pretty! And I love the crispness of it.

Wat een schattig poppenquiltje laat je ons weer zien Lucy! Heel erg mooi gemaakt. Is het goed uit de wasmachine gekomen? Groetjes, Tineke.
The ease with which you make a creative and beautiful quilt from the let out things is amazing.
