Wow what great doll quilts! all of them, they are so colorful and artistic a super group of quilters we have here. I taped the living heck out of your package createfourpaws and the lovely card that goes with it is on my counter still. this is me. half reared at all time. sheesh. I think your mom needs to relax on the six. make is as big or small as she darned well choses. Ok 12 inches I think is the starting point maybe its 11.. but big isn't always better. Whatever is created will be enjoyed.
