Hi Almond, I'm starting the quilting on your doll quilt. I too am going to machine quilt this doll quilt. (I gave my nod to amish "like" by using solids and a traditional pattern) I really like how it's coming out. But, I've tweaked it a bit. I hope you'll like it.

My 'modern' Amish themed quilt is on its way to Dragonfly Nana but the card explaining the reasoning behind the quilt sits on my kitchen bench 
oh well, at least the most important item went in the mail !
Is there a theme for September??? I know I am way ahead of time but September is going to be SO busy for me and I need to start thinking about what I am going to do.

Hey Lynnie25 - been there and done that! You could always put it in the post by itself. If you do, I'll be it gets here before the package!
I missed the post on Saturday so yours will go out tomorrow.

But you have to remember I used to drive a Concrete Mixer Truck and had to many close calls because of this. We can't stop that big truck on a dime especially when it's loaded with concrete...Every time it happen I would hollar STUPID STUPID PEOPLE...I wasn't worried for me I was worried for them! :-(

Progress report: I got my blocks and sashing done, sandwich done, blocks are stitch in the ditch ... and now to quilt. I was hoping someone would have a brilliant idea on the quilting and thread choice ... but I see I'm on my own here. *sigh* I really like this little quilt a lot and just hope the quilting adds to it rather than takes away from it. Time will tell ...

Buzzinbumble- what a perfect Amish doll quilt!! Love it.
I am handquilting mine and it's over half done. It was an easy pattern, but very Amish styled. I am enjoying the quilting, nice thing to do for some quiet time!
