Progress has been made on the quilts I showed yesterday, but they aren't quite finished. I DID finish two matching doll quilts for two sweet little girls this Christmas.
These quilted tops have been in my WIPs pile for several years now just waiting to be bound. They are leftovers from a quilt and matching doll quilt made for another sweet little girl and were intended to be gifts for my daughter and niece at the time.

You can't really tell from the pictures, but the quilts were made to be similar yet different. They each have a different border fabric, backing fabric and quilting design. One is quilted with butterflies and the other with hearts.
I'm pretty sure the original intended recipients are passed the playing with dolls stage (even though they would still appreciate the gift), so their younger cousins will be getting these. The fun part is shopping for the baby dolls!

I am so happy these doll quilts are FINALLY finished, so happy there are little girls on my gift list, and so happy to link these to Amanda Jean's and Amy's blogs!

ReplyDeletethey are so pretty, Rene! how great that you can use some of your old WIP's for gifts. that's super smart! I have some of that fabric in my bed quilt and i love how soft and feminine it is.
