Well ladies I learned something for this month, learn how to put the squares together(Ms.Graces Quilt) so I tore it apart and attempted another, now here is the situation, thought I would do something different, I have a bunch of 1" blocks someone gave me, and decided to "create " a neat doll quilt, painstakingly! worked on it, I am almost finished, need to do the binding for it.
all flowers,different colors etc.
It has taken me hours to put these tiny squares together, and to match them right. I do know this,these blocks will be used for something else! Pincushions come to mind, mug rugs too! I will send a picture later and show you this quilt, I think it is pretty. I hope Carron will like it!

I tore up my doll quilt I was making and restarted on doing something else.
So if you could I'd sure appreciate some assistance in this one!

I found the pattern in a old "Miniature Quilts" magazine.
It was only the 2nd quilt that I've set "on point".
It wasn't hard at all.
pm me if you'd like a copy of the pattern.

Here's a link to a very easy & fun doll quilt to make from your little squares. I've made 4 of these so far. They are very addicting!!

This is the doll quilt I made for my partner. I waited until I knew she had received it to post it. I happen to know she's been very busy with some health issues, and so I thought I'd take the liberty of posting a few pictures. Don't know what she calls it, but I call it "Limeade."
