Doll Quilt :)

I made this quilt for my daughter. Its about 15"x18". Its actually the second quilt I have made, and the first that I actually finished lol. My other one is just pieced and just ghastly. It is not quilted per se, it has french knots through out and some embroidered flowers, cause I was to scared to FMQ it, I didn't want to ruin it if I messed up!

Cheerful quilt, it is beautiful! Love the colors and the embroidery and french knots really add to the look.

Beautiful, love the embroidery and the colors.

There was probably more work in those french knots than there would have been in quilting. It is gorgeous however, and I wouldn't do it any differently. Only the 2nd? Keep going - lots of talent in there waiting to come out!

It's adorable! Very creative using french knots in different colors!

Kathy T. 03-10-2012 04:53 PM

That is just too cute ... and I'll bet we don't think your first one is as bad as you think! We're always our own worse critics.

malega 03-10-2012 04:54 PM

Very pretty I like the colours.

serenitybygrace 03-11-2012 06:02 PM

Very sweet quilt, perfect for a little girl's doll. I love your hand embellishments. I'll bet your other one would turn out to your liking after it is quilted.
