Humble Quilts Doll Quilt Swap


This is the 5th time I have participated in Loris (Humble Quilts) mini quilt swap. This is the one I made for Debby in Washington. I hand pieced and hand quilted the center. Due to time constraints this month, I machine quilted the rest. I used some of my favorite early reproduction prints. Love those indigo prints and the border fabrics are designed by Petra Prins. Once again, all the fabrics in the quilt came from Busy Thimble. Thanks Cyndi!
Here's a picture from Debby after 
she received it.


And I am over the moon about the quilt Louise made for me. It will hang behind my “red” chair in the living room. I love it!
And, the extra goodies she packed inside are delightful. 

 I have already used the little thread cutter.

Thanks for another great swap Lori!
Lori (Humble Quilts) will be linking these up in a little while so you can see all of the little gems in one place.

    Two gorgeous little quilts! I will need to check out Busy Thimbles for some additional repro fabrics. You used some really lovely ones in your little quilt. You have a perfect setting for your new little red quilt!

    Oh my - thanks again Wendy for the perfect and delightful quilt you made for me in this year's Humble Quilt swap! Ever since I started quilting in earnest I've followed your blog -- what a treat to have your little quilt hanging on my wall!

    What a perfect swap. The quilt you made just shines. Gorgeous fabrics, and beautiful execution, of course! And the quilt you received seems to have been something you would have commissioned to go on your chair (if you didn't make it yourself). And wonderful little goodies to go along with it.

    It looks like a very successful swap - I love both minis - there are some tiny pieces in both quilts! Your new one looks great there on your chair.

    Both quilts are awesome !! Oh la la....You didn't hesitate to mix Dutch prints with US repro ! In Nantes, I asked to Petra and she told me the same !
    Well, I can do a quilt with both too !

    The quilt from Louise looks like it was made to go on the back of your red chair. It's perfect! Nice little goodies, too. Of course your swap quilt is wonderful and I'm sure Debby in WA will love it!
