My Doll Quilt Swap – Quilt Top!
Over the weekend, I had fun piecing this little gem! I had been mulling over an idea for my Doll Quilt Swap quilt, and finally got to it! Each block is finished at 4″, which means the overall quilt is 16″ x 16″, perfect doll quilt size.
Each block is paper pieced, an often intimidating skill, that doesn’t need to be! Precision is a given, as long as you can follow the lines while sewing. To help me out with color placement, I quickly used color pencils to remind me of the colors. Otherwise I would have been a bit slower in the production phase, constantly checking my color placement.
Up next — removing all the papers, and finding the perfect way to quilt it, without over quilting.
Did you enter the giveaway yesterday? There’s still time! And Shawna has some great sales going on too!
Happy quilting~
Amy

I love the movement the stars have with the juxtaposition of solids. They seem to dance.
Gorgeous quilt top! Wonderful colors :)
I love your doll quilt. I just wanted to share with you that I purchased a package of Manilla drawing paper from Hobby Lobby. You get 200 9X12 sheets for $4 I print off my paper piecing patterns on it and tearing off the papers is super easy. It literally falls off when your done.
That looks amazing Amy. I really want to learn to paper /foundation piece. Can you point me towards a great tutorial to start?
oh nice! i love the look of movement!
What a great little quilt top.
love the piece – would make a great pillow as well. great idea to mark w/colored pencil, thanks for the tip
I really like that quilt, Amy – enough to even consider giving piecing a go!
I agree, the movement is wonderful. Can’t wait to see how you quilt it. Lucky swap partner!
Wow – this is beautiful.
Love this! I’ve been thinking about doing some paper piecing. Where do you get your patterns?
Too cute for words Amy! Darling!
Awesome! I love how the changed alignment of the stars makes these them twinkle!
You did a wonderful job. I tried paper piecing only once and got so confused by it. You made a really nice quilt!
Spectacular! :) I love this mini quilt!
