OK here it is, I made this for Kathy N, she is my swap partner for April. I wish I could of done a better job for her. How ever I did learn to miter the corners, and once I learned I was able to finish it in 10 minutes. not like March which took me at least 6 hours. God bless. Penny

You've come a long way baby! Now that you've mastered binding, you'll have more time for your beautiful creations. That little quilt is a stunner! Thanks for making the doll quilt swap look good!

Looks fabulous! I love your fabric combination & my respect for the applique, haven't dared gone near that sort of thing yet! :D Thanks for sharing.

Very pretty-you do such nice work. I'm with salmonsweet-I'm afraid of applique. Beautiful doll quilt.

Penny, you did a very good job. The pictures show me a lot of skill going into this very pretty quilt. Good job.

Kathy N 04-27-2010 03:18 PM

Penny it is beautiful!!! I am so excited, I can't wait for it to arrive. You are doing beautiful work for being a self proclaimed newbie!!! You are a natural...and a great swap partner!

littlehud 04-27-2010 06:44 PM

That is awesome. It's more a work of art. Beautiful job.

CajunQuilter2 04-27-2010 06:46 PM

Looks pretty darn good to me!!

zz-pd 04-27-2010 06:53 PM

thank you all very much. It is only my third project, 1 march doll quilt, 2 this april doll quilt, and the iris in the corner thingey. I know not a word, but I can't spell any way so I make my own words :D And ladies applaque is very easy, cutting out the little piece is the hardest part. Just go for it. I am learning all kinds of things with the doll quilts. but none of this would be possibale with out the wonderful ladies on the board that have sent me fabric,thread,books, 2 packs of batting, and ink for my printer so I could print things/patterns. God bless all of you. Penny

Penny, you did fantastic on this little doll quilt! The colors are just great that you put together. You were successful using a nice mixture of small scale and large scale which makes for an exciting quilt! Kudos to you!! We can't wait to see more of your work! Your good friend, n2. :D :D :thumbup:

Beautiful quilt Penny.

It's so pretty. The leaves of the daffodil look so real and look as if they're standing out from the block. You did a great job.

Bevanger 04-29-2010 12:34 PM

Penny,
You are an artist! It's beautiful. I don't think you can be considered a new quilter anymore. :D

That is BEAUTIFUL!!! I want to swap DQ's with you again real soon. I love your spring-themed quilts. You have a great "feel" for color. No matter How well I think I do, I always loose the applique into the background. Just can't get the knack of contrast, or maybe I just don't plan far enough ahead (most likely). But if these are your beginning quilts, can't wait to see how you do with a few more under your belt. I've been trying to quilt for 5 or 6 years, and already you've left me behind. Great job.

quiltingbee12,

I will be mailing you your quilt today. Thanks for being
patient and understanding with me. I am posting a picture of what I am sending to you. I wish I had done a better job
on the binding, I should have did a bias, but didn't have enough material. You have been a great partner and a new friend.

Judy

April Doll Quilt Swap 2010 sent to quiltingbee12, also a Easter Penny Pocket with Easter candy.
