Don't be nervous, I'm sure I will love what you send me. I need your address to mail to though . In the Dakota's right now for a wedding, but will be home Monday.

Does anyone need scrap fabric? I have some I can donate.

I am so glad your back! I will sign up next month didn't see the sign ups for this month wishing for energy back so I can do this!!

Question: what size is too small/large for a doll quilt? I'm almost thinking I'm going too big? Any input would be greatly appreciated! I can make my pattern a little smaller if need be, just wondering what size others are going for?

tlambing, it's always been very flexible. I would estimate, 12 1/2" sq to 20-24" sq. Or, it can be oblong also. I really think it's up to the maker. Is that right girls (guys)? It's been a long time since I've been in the swap. Have the rules changed? I guess that's a good thing to know now, before I send the wrong size one. (There is time to make another if I need to.)

I think anything about 24" width or length or smaller would be perfect. OF course nothing is set in stone about what size is to big for a doll quilt. Remember the "Quilt Police" DO NOT exist!

Okay, Mines slightly larger , I'm gonna go for it! Thanks for the input all :)

I was wondering about size as I was doing mine too. It ended up being 16x20.. so I guess I am in the ballpark. Nise, I have it done, but want to wait until next week to mail. I need a show and tell project for next week. Since I have been gone and didn't work on anything else... this will be it...I will let you know when I mail. Thanks.

Also... why is it necessary for tracking #.... ? postage without is a lot less expensive.....

You can track it, it's insured and delivery is more reliable. Most of the swaps on the board require you to have it now. To many people receiving and not mailing.

Lj dugas got it today, love it and it looks great on my "kitchen greeting wall" Thank you so much, it's perfect for me. Notice the fancy stitching ladies for quilting, hope it shows.[ATTACH=CONFIG]487209[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]487210[/ATTACH] and here's the back[ATTACH=CONFIG]487211[/ATTACH]

Been working today on my doll quilt. So glad my partner likes scrappy! It's turning out lovely :) and only a little huge.

Dearest Quiltingkrazy;
Sorry I have been off-line for so long, my arm was broken and they had to reset it and in cast for a while, so no quilting, that coupled with computer problems, then last month my beloved Mother died. So things have been a wreck here. But, your quilt is almost done.Will need your new address to send it to.
Thank you so much for your patience.
Kwiltkrazy(Lucinda)
PS- glad you are moved. Now is the settling in time.

Is it time to sign up for September yet?

KwiltKrazy, I hope your feeling better and that your body is healing. I am so sorry to hear of your mom. You are in my thoughts and prayers. It will take so much longer to remember your mom without crying. But, the day will come and you will remember her only with happy thoughts and smiles. And she will always reside in your heart. *Hugs*

Lisa, I mailed off to my partner today. And she has also touched base with me as well. I know, I really enjoyed the process of making my doll quilt this month. I was reluctant to rush through the process. Thank you partner for your patience.

Lisa, how is settling into your house going? Are you located very far from your family? Are the furr children adjusting into their new surroundings?

My DH will get out of rehab from a broken leg on Thursday. Will then get back to quilting for my doll quilt for tlambing. She and I have been in connection. Thanks.

got mine today
 

Nise sent me this lovely quilt... my granddaughters will love the colors, it is perfect.
Look at all the goodies she sent too.... love the little bags, very unique.... thank you Nise. It was so much fun. Sally

Yes we've been in touch :) I'm patient, just get to it when you can. I sure hope everything is going well with your DH.

I still have the label to put on your quilt,promise to mail by Friday!

What a beautiful purple/pink 9 patch nise made for you sdeaaz!

Exciting to see your gorgeous mini's! I ought to take the plunge and swap again! Life is so full and overflowing with things to do. Amazing to look at what can be done with a simple little 9-patch. Great work.

I too have had set backs this month.
I just pm'd my partner. I will be mailing a few days late, but it WILL be mailed with tracking# no later than Tuesday.
Sorry!!!!

Not to worry Ms Grace, please don't rush to get it mailed.

Hello ladies,
I hope all is well with y'all all and quilts are being finished and ready to mail.

Please contact your partner is there are any problems

I just heard Omacookie received the doll quilt I sent to her. I promised to post pics for her, so here they are.....
(I told you it was big) but she seemed to like it :)

TL that is so cute...all those wee tiny squares! Lots of sewing in that and they look perfect :)

That's really pretty tlambing. I don't think it's too big. I love your design and fabrics.

I was too late for the August DQ Swap :( Is there going to be a September Doll Quilt Swap?

Ooohh! It's nice to see the doll quilt swap is back! Missed signing up for this one, but love looking at the quilts that are being swapped. Hoping to join in on the next one. Nice work quilters!

Here is my beautiful Quilt from Judith1005, it is so pretty and she even did hand quilted Hibscus flowers in the centers of each 9 patch. Thank you so much Judith! I love it.

very nice Judith....

Thank you sdeaaz.

Letsquilt, thank you for the very lovely doll quilt. I just love that shade of turquoise.

Note the darling decorative outer edge. Again in that lovely shade of turquoise. And the creamy print is to die for. It has bits of gold flecks in it. Very rich.

Not pictured, (shamefaced) is the twister tool that letsquilt sent. She had an extra so sent it to me. I can't wait to play around with that. Thank you so much for the lovely swap this month.

Lisa, will there be a September doll quilt swap? I didn't realize how much I missed these.

I feel really bad. I forgot to take a photo of my 9 patch, so Nise returned it to me so I could get my photo and share with the group.... Thank you Nise. Here is the Doll quilt I made for her.

oops
 

this is better of the label...

Love the doll quilt you designed sdeaaz! Love the dark points all around, it jumps out.

This darling blue DQ is what I received from MsGrace, she didn't know that blue was my favorite color. She also sent some goodies with the DQ, I just love everything she sent!

The next picture is the DQ I sent to MsGrace and the label on the back.[ATTACH=CONFIG]490493[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]490494[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]490495[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]490496[/ATTACH]

Aw, a couple more darling 9 patcher's. Love them both. I'm chuckling just a bit. One of you went blue and the other went pink. (giggle)

This is a really unique setting. I love what you've done with your 9 patch blocks.

Love those two quilts!

Thanks Judith, It was fun....

Cheesehead and MsGrace these are really really cute. I love the appliqued flowers ...

Thanks for posting the picture of the great quilt you sent me.
I just love it. Thanks again!!
