Both of your quilts are gorgeous! Nobody would ever guess that these were your first quilts. I really, really love the Dutch Girls. Love the way you made the borders and sashing.

Thank you Thank you Thank you for the kind words! I'm anxious to start another top, or four... going to be on a project for 6 weeks though working 12 hour days so may not get anything done until I get back home in May. I'll still be lurking here, admiring everyone's creativity... thank you again!

The pattern was just a bonnet, body, and arm... I used iron on bonding to attach to the block, then a satin stitch and decorative stitch to secure and trim the dolls up. I was watching Fons & Porter one day and they showed how to make these triple squares on point and I knew that's how I would incorporate the hot pink fabric so I could use it for the backing. It was a learning experience and I loved every minute until I tried to machine quilt with a patchwork stitch. I had gone too far to rip it out so continued. Most of the puckers are hidden since I washed and dried the quilt though so it's not too sad. Izzy loves it and that's all that matters. Thank you for the nice comment.. becky
