Doll quilt progress

Here I am on Lori's antique doll quilt. Just a couple rows to go, and the top will be completed, This has been great fun, thank you so much for sharing your pattern, Lori. Hard for me, though...and a few mistakes. A great learning experience for me!!
Here is where I am on the blue and yellow sampler. Just a small bit, but January is done...yippee!


Hope you have a most wonderful day!

Such fun you bring to us.

Love your Cheddar Cheese and Crackers quilt. I made one too and found it to be a lot more work than I had anticipated.

I think your doll quilt is turning out just fine! I wish I had the energy to be working on the project along with the other quilters who are doing the quilt. I haven't found a bad one in the bunch.
And the new sampler quilt looks so springy. And I wish spring were here.

The ylw/blue sampler is going to be a show stopper!

Blues and yellows - gotta love that. Your doll quilt looks interesting and you did a great job. I was trying to see the blocks and I think I have it figured out - at east the blocks, now the construction is a total other matter. Can't wait to see the next installment of your sampler quilt!

Lori said...

So sweet! I love the yelow in the CC&C quilt. It really brightens it up. I'm sure you'll have it finished in no time.
Love the blue and yellow blocks. They are a reminder of spring!!

Sharon said...

Your doll quilt turned out wonderful! Mine is still waiting to be started, it looks like a lot of work and I had others to finish first. I love your plaid quilts!!!!

Andrea said...

Both quilts are looking great ! I think the sampler is going to be gorgeous. Is the pattern a commercial one ? I would love to do this too.

It's a cute doll quilt!

And I love the blue and yellow quilt--so cheery!

Barb said...

I just came over to check out your blog from A ditch iin time, she nominated you for the Lemonade award and the minute I saw you blog...I said...I know her....I love your blog....

Nines said...

Both of your quilts are coming along - I especially love the colours in the doll quilt.

Keeeute!

Donna said...

Love the blue and yellow sampler quilt -- could you please list what pattern you are using?

I knew I'd love your blog as soon as I saw the plaid string in your header -- I have 18 blocks made so far -- I've wanted to make that quilt for years and decided 2010 was the year.

Love your doll quilt, and the blue and yellow sampler is so cheery. Blue and yellow is one of my favorite color combinations. Keep up the great work, it is so inspiring to see quilts coming together :)

Loris said...

Is that the same yellow in both quilts? It looks like a delicious cheddar in the doll quilt and yet a happy daffodil in the blue and yellow quilt...which is looking beautiful by the way. Love them both...as you can tell, I'm about a week behind reading posts...

Libby said...

Oh gosh, I just love the Cheddar doll quilt . . . . I didn't play along, but I think I may just have to go back and make one anyway *s*

Darcie said...

What a darling little quilt, Julie! I love the shirting (just one background, right?) and the reproductions...it looks authentic. Will you keep it for yourself?

In the midst of quite a winter storm here, it's fun seeing your Springtime-looking blue and yellow quilt in progress!

Have you been able to rest? I'm concerned for you.

Hugs....

I was tempted by Puffins...a squirrelly breed!!  LOL!  This fabric was shared with me, and I have been loved these bright, candy corn colors...
