    I was going through quilting withdrawals while waiting for my quilting room to be finished and for DH to put my new quilting frame together...

    So last weekend I went into my sewing room and threw some already made HST's together into a small doll quilt. I machine quilted it using a meandering stitch over the diagonal seams. It's not very big...not much bigger than a placemat! LOL. But my DGD *is* only going to be 4 in a couple weeks...so she isn't very big, either! LOL

    You managed to kill two birds with one stone! You got the fun of making it, and she'll be thrilled to have a quilt for her doll! Well done!@

    Perfect little quilt! I think grandchildren bring out the best in us.

    I call grandchildren "God's great do-over!"

    Did you use your serpentine stitch across those diagonal seams? I have found that makes a great alternative to SID. When my granddaughters turn 2 they get a dolly quilt for their BD (I have 5 GD's) Little doll quilts are also nice to make for gift donations at Christmas time; pair them with a little doll for a special child.

    Yes, I used the serpentine stitch. I love that stitch! You don't have to sew a straight line! LOL
