Doll Quilt Swap 10 Finish!

I finished my Doll Quilt Swap hand quilting and binding yesterday:

 

It is sixteen inches square and is for my secret swap partner.  I used the method/process from Thimble blossom pattern "pint-sized" but made the whirly-gigs interlocking rather than using a solid background with each print.

I asked for advice after just hand quilting with perle cotton around the outside of the entire center and ended up quilting inside each whirly-gig with a quilting thread:

I'm very happy with the finished product and will have a hard time sending it away;  but I'm sure I'll receive something fantastic in return!

 And.....it's not due until the end of MARCH, but I'll be traveling again and wanted it finish.

Thank you to:

Madame Samm and MamaCJ:

I am the lucky owner of a piece of ART from MamaCJ...this mug rug:

....which I won on Sew We Quilt (previously Stash Manicure). I just love it!

And sweet Cyndi from Blue Bird Swing added on to her birthday giveaway by having an extra one for everyone who commented that had a February birthday!

Well, she drew my name for a cute Dilly Dally charm pack, but look at what all came with it:

There is a package of Thank You cards that match a Magnetic Shopping/To Do List, a cute journal and some sweet treats!  Thanks again Cyndi - you are so generous.

+++++++

And lucky me...

I won a copy of Kim Brackett's Scrap-Basket Sensations! on Nicoles' Sister's Choice Quilts blog during the blog tour!

There are so many wonderful patterns in this book, I don't know which one I'll make first.
