I'm going to have to keep this one and put it on the sewing room wall as a reminder of how not to do it.

I've been watching for all the quilts as they are posted, and again I'm putting in a plea for a doll quilts gallery. So many different ideas! Not just for black and white, but ribbon work, birds and pears...
Dog's dinner? Impossible!
But why not go with the look? Keep laying on layers of crinkles and maybe couch some scraps in there for good measure! When a quilt starts to fight you, fight back! You'll win in the end!
