Isn't it just great fun making up your own designs, I have just started my old cogs rolling for another baby quilt, been up since 5am thinking about it and searching my laptop for inspiration as one of our favourite Spanish waiters is due their first baby in September!!

Loving the look of this one Patti, glad I managed to catch this post!! :D :D :D

Thanks Izy...you were the inspiration you know....now look what you got me into!!! I'm going to blame you for all this!!!

I love it- she has cute eyes. I like hearing when someone makes their own pattern- I know they are really into honing their craft.

Great job Patti! Can't wait to see it all together.

Now...look what I've got going...not enough time to do them, but here is some of the girl quilt in parts. I have to redo part of her skirt (I don't like it) and I have to redo her eyes...they aren't the same size..she looks demented! I'll be embroidering eyebrows, nose and mouth.

How cute!! And, what a keepsake!! Now sandpat, I haven't read thru all the notes on this...but, here's what I'd suggest...add a piece of something light and 3D over the top of her skirt now...w/o taking anything apart...bet everyone will be peeking underneath!LOL And, of course they will see more shoes:)Don't worry about even eyes...a great fix is highlights!! Can embrod. thread them on. If you took a sewing pin w/metal back...stuck it in a pencil eraser, then touched paint, then barely touched a piece of paper...you'd have the idea of size and how easy!:)Do 2..one larger then the other. Could candlewick the highlights too. If you need to add some softness to her eyes still after highlights...can, make 2 simple eyelashes out of the outside corners of her eyes.

I love it!! I love it just like it is!! Skeat
