Bonus quilt
 

A few weeks ago, I finished a quilt for my granddaughter that combined
blocks my mother had embroidered with a lot of scrappy '30's repro
fabrics. I ended up with some extra 4-patches, so I made a small quilt
for DGD to use with her dolls. I added a piano-key border using scraps
left from the border of the bigger quilt. You can see the "bonus quilt"
at http://webpages.charter.net/jaccola/...DollsQuilt.JPG. Most of
the left-over repro scraps are very small and fit into a quart-size
ziplock bag. DGD will get those, too, along with a piece of warm'n'white
batting and a glue stick :)

Photos of the bigger quilt are toward the bottom of

Julia, I love Katelyn's big quilt. Is that from a particular pattern? And the
bonus quilt is great, too!

Thanks,
Cappy

Julia, I liked your quilt when you first posted it, and I still do! I'm
not usually a fan of '30s fabrics, but your quilt is one I'd happily
welcome to my home. ;) As for the bonus quilt, it's adorable! :)

So sweet, Julia.
Isn't it interesting to note how the prints in the picture of the bonus
quilt appear so much more defined and larger than in the large quilt.
A good visual example of why it is always stated that one must use tiny
prints in a miniature - so everything is scaled down. Something I have
only just begin to do in the last year or so. I know it's an obvious
fact g but sometimes the obvious takes a little longer to impinge than
perhaps it should!

A while back, Joan in Bellevue, NE, had posted some photos of a quilt
top she had made combining blue work and pieced blocks. I drafted my own
pattern based on Joan's photos and using the size of my embroidered
blocks. According to Joan, she used a pattern in American Patchwork and
Quilting, August 2004

Your quilts are charming - love them! Hope your DGD knows (someday) what
a lucky girl she is.
