Doll Quilt Swap IV

The About.com Doll Quilt Swap IV ended in October and I am finally getting around to posting photos of the quilts I made and received.

First up, the quilt I received. Wanda made this adorable little star quilt in Tula Pink's Full Moon Forest fabrics. She really did her homework and chose wonderful prints. The colors are perfect and I feel so lucky to have this little gem. Look for the cute little owl in the middle block. It's such a happy little quilt and I love it. Thanks Wanda!!



My partner was Patty in Oklahoma. She's actually friends with Shelly who made my quilt in the last swap. Patty had many different likes and not too many dislikes but she was absolutely sure that she didn't want anything PINK! She really said it like that too. :)

I really struggled with an idea for this quilt and ended up making "Mini Asian Bowties." The pattern is from About.com and was fun to make. The little teeny triangles weren't that hard. I played with the order of the blocks for about a week and due to my need for colors and patterns to be "in order" I ended up with straight rows of color. No scrappy mix and match for me, thank you very much. The background fabric I think really makes the quilt with beautiful fans of all colors. Thanks Scottie Dog Quilts for carrying great Asian prints. I actually used the fat quarters I won in a raffle a few years ago. They were meant to be used to make a Bento Box quilt but I had to use them in this quilt. I only needed to use a couple of small strips for the bowties so I be able to still get some Bento Box blocks out of them.
