EB Doll Quilt Swap II

The lovely Island Kylie has sent me a Doll's Quilt for this years swap. It is a beautiful tiny Log Cabin style quilt in bright orange and green. I've already added it to my wall of little quilts and it looks lovely!!

Thanks so much Kylie I really like it!


And I of course made one to send to another lovely EBer, Bec!!

I wasn't totally happy with this one but Bec's lovely comments on a previous post convinced me to send it to her....after all I had put a lot of time in to it and I really do like the pattern....I'm even thinking out using it again for another quilt!!

I few people enquired about the pattern and I don't feel right in posting a tutorial on here, as I got it straight from a magazine, Down Under Quilts Issue 123. It is the quilt on the cover. I like their fabric choices better of course and I have a few of them but not enough variety to go with them, so I chose my own colours from what I had here. I actually like the backing fabric the best!!

IVF update....after a massive scare on Tuesday which sent to back to the clinic to get checked out, being given the OK and then resting HEAPS, I am finally starting to feel better. My tummy is still very swollen and tender.

Thank goodness I got to leave a comment, I just love this little quilt and it will be the first anything to go on a wall in our new house. I have been wanting something to go in our small entryway and this will be perfect.

Gorgeous logs! I'm guessing they're 1/2in wide at the most? I really like the design of the quilt you made, too.

They are both wonderful quilts! I love Kylie's colour combination, so bright and cheery, I think I might try a log cabbin style next time, it is so effective.

I'm glad you liked the one you made, I love the contrasting fabrics, it is very eye catching!
