I love to make doll quilts

I already made two doll quilts, maybe you remember them:

The Japanese heartquilt

The 30th reproduction dollquilt

This week I finished the (almost) civil war doll quilt, I also used some French General fabric.
It was machine pieced and both hand- and machine quilted. For me this was the first time that i quilted on my sewing machine. I saw some videos about machine quilting, practised a bit and here is the result; however not perfect at all, I am very proud!!!
I bought 5 (!) doll quilt books in the last three month, I 'll show them in another post.

i also finished the binding of my Orvieto leaf sampler.

  1. Great job with the machine quilting. I love doll quilts but haven't made one - it's on my to-do list.
