Fab Little Quilt Swap

I just finished the doll quilt for the
Fab Little Quilt Swap 12
and put it in the mail:

 
I always try to expand my skills with these swaps and on this one I used all raw edge machine applique and did other than stippling for the machine quilting.
Neither are perfect but I'm satisfied with the results.
 
 
The center of the quilt is from the Wish You Were Here! pattern by Don't Look Now!
 
The back is nice and bright with a bird label:
 
 
It went off in the mail to it's new owner today!
 
 
Hope she likes it!
