My Humble Quilts Swap Quilt Arrived

Posted on April 27, 2016September 26, 2016 by Martha

Yesterday I received this wonderful little quilt from Marian Edwards, who lives in Australia. Marian is a prolific quilter, who makes tiny quilts as well as great big ones. She is just finishing up a gorgeous Dear Jane, and that is no small feat. Enlarge the photo to see the adorable prints and the teeny…

WIP Wednesday — Old Italian Block Doll Quilt

Posted on April 13, 2016September 26, 2016 by Martha

This isn’t actually a Work in Progress anymore, since the little quilt is finished, and these photos were taken before washing and drying, so the quilt is a bit more crinkly now. I think you can make out the hand quilting if you click to enlarge the photos. I’m excited to send this quilt to its new owner,…

WIP Wednesday — Old Italian Block Doll Quilt

Posted on April 6, 2016September 26, 2016 by Martha

This is the doll quilt I am making for Lori’s (Humble Quilts) annual swap — the completed top can be found in an earlier post. When I’m creating a doll-sized quilt, the most important thing for me is scale — in the design, prints, and quilting. Although I know it’s practically impossible to make a doll…

WIP Wednesday — Humble Quilts 2016 Doll Quilt Swap

Posted on March 23, 2016September 26, 2016 by Martha

Every other project had to be put on hold so I could start my doll quilt for Lori’s annual swap, which is something I look forward to every year. I copied the “Old Italian Block” pattern from an antique quilt sold on ebay last year, and I have since realized this is a pretty popular pattern, with lots…

My Swap Doll Quilt Arrived!

Posted on May 28, 2015September 26, 2016 by Martha

A package arrived from Margaret today, and you can imagine how excited I was to open these cute presents. First, the adorable quilt — such a great pattern and colors with those little pinwheels and cute striped border, and look at that amazing quilting. And there was more — cool pins to hold thread spools and bobbins together, and…

Album Doll Quilt for Swap

Posted on May 18, 2015September 26, 2016 by Martha

Finally I have finished this little quilt for the swap organized by Lori at Humble Quilts. The quilting is about as close as I can get it, which I think suits the scale of the miniature quilt (block size is 3 1/4″). The blocks are stitched with a diagonal grid, and the sashing is ditch stitched…

Replacement Album Doll Quilt for Swap

Posted on April 30, 2015September 26, 2016 by Martha

If you happened to read the update on my last post, you know that I ran into a problem on the Shoofly doll quilt for Lori’s swap. I was about 3/4 done with the quilting when I encountered a block with weak fabric. It’s not unusual to run across unstable fabric when you’re purchasing antique tops…

Shoofly Doll Quilt Top for Swap

Posted on April 26, 2015September 26, 2016 by Martha

UPDATE:  What a drag — I was nearly done with the hand quilting, when I encountered a block with an unstable print. This is always a risk when working with these very old fabrics, and although I try really hard to catch any little pieces with issues, I missed one this time. 🙁 Now I’m going to…
