    Default Finally finished Dresden Dolls quilt

    I came up with the idea to make these dolls almost two years ago, and couldn't decide what to do with them. I finally made a wall hanging out of them.

    It's 7 foot long and hard to get a picture. Some of the quilting is invisible thread. I still think I should have quilted more in the background, but it's going to be stuck to the wall high on my sewing room wall so it should be ok.

    The fourth doll didn't make it, so I made coasters out of that section. I messed her hair and neck up too much. She had a super thick weave, LOL!

    I started a thread when I first came up with the idea:
