my niece is in the Childrens Doll Quilt Swap.

She picked this pattern out of Quilt Sampler Fall/Winter 2009. I modified the pattern to a wall hanging size and then she wanted to embellish it with butterflies because she thought it looked to plain.

she did everything herself except - cutting the fabric and sewing on the bows.

she made the prairie points in the pinwheel blocks and even did all the quilting.

i taught her a quilt as you go method and i marked the designs with vanishing pen and she just traced right over them with thread.

we closed the quilt like you do a pillow because she's not ready for binding and mitered corners yet.


i've also attached a pic of the purse she made for mate in the swap. the fabric was given to me as a gift from luv2quilt on the forum.


i'm so proud of her - she's been sewing for just over a year now and its just amazing what she can do.

its going to be 3 posts of pics - so wait a few moments.
