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.
