Hi there- the way I made the doll quilt -use two different color of fabric -I like using hand dyed and batiks - you can put steam a seam 2 on the backs of each and when finishing the weaving process iron it on to a piece of muslin - but I find it makes it too stiff - cut one fabric with vetical lines using a rotary cutter making sure to leave a 1/2 inch uncut border on top-you cut gentle curves about 1 to 2 inches wide-------then cut the other fabric horizontal with gentle curve all the way accross -I numbered the horizontal strips on the end just incase they got mixed up-now all there is to do is weave starting with strip #1- I have done this technique several times and it surprises me everytime the different looks that come out!
