Well ladies I learned something for this month, learn how to put the squares together(Ms.Graces Quilt) so I tore it apart and attempted another, now here is the situation, thought I would do something different, I have a bunch of 1" blocks someone gave me, and decided to "create " a neat doll quilt, painstakingly! worked on it, I am almost finished, need to do the binding for it.
all flowers,different colors etc.
It has taken me hours to put these tiny squares together, and to match them right. I do know this,these blocks will be used for something else! Pincushions come to mind, mug rugs too! I will send a picture later and show you this quilt, I think it is pretty. I hope Carron will like it!

I tore up my doll quilt I was making and restarted on doing something else.

So if you could I'd sure appreciate some assistance in this one!

I found the pattern in a old "Miniature Quilts" magazine.
It was only the 2nd quilt that I've set "on point".
It wasn't hard at all.
pm me if you'd like a copy of the pattern.

Here's a link to a very easy & fun doll quilt to make from your little squares. I've made 4 of these so far. They are very addicting!!

The nice thing about that pattern would be the fact you do not have to have all your squares be perfect. Thanks for sharing.

This is the doll quilt I made for my partner. I waited until I knew she had received it to post it. I happen to know she's been very busy with some health issues, and so I thought I'd take the liberty of posting a few pictures. Don't know what she calls it, but I call it "Limeade."

catrancher your mitred corners look perfect. What a great choice to use a stripey fabric for your borders. Cute quilt overall, too.
