First finish for 2025. This is my little offering for the Instagram 2025 Doll Quilt Swap hosted by Linda Collins (Quilts in the Barn). All it needs now is a label and it will zoom off to its new owner.
The center consists of simple random shapes using this fabric for the bird in the center and then surrounded by four corner circles. I just love throwing pieces down on fabric and stitching them in place.
The outer borders were a bit more fiddly so I backbasted them to make sure of the proper placement. All in all, it was a really fun little quilt to make. Hope my swap partner likes it as well.
I have also been hand quilting along on my Quiltmania Mystery quilt designed (with a few changes by me) by Susan Smith. I started it last January but abandoned it for nearly a full year before picking it up again.
ooh some very lucky recipient...it is a beauty! glad you are getting back in the swing...
ReplyDeleteWendy, whoever gets your doll quilt is one lucky quilter! It is beautiful--and represents you so well.
ReplyDeleteIt is apparent that your mystery quilt is going to be beautiful. And I love that you made a few changes. From the same pattern, each quilter's finish is unique in some way, even if just in their fabric choices.
Hope 2025 is a healthy, happy year for you!!
Your mystery quilt looks fabulous, I'm glad you are working on it again.
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous swap piece you've made!! I just love all the figures set in that mosaic style in the center, Wendy.. beautiful work...hugs, Julierose
