| Doll Quilt 10 |
I added a couple of more birds to the centre to try to take away from it looking like a 'face'. Once someone pointed it out on flickr, I just couldn't stop thinking of a face every time I looked at the quilt. Hopefully I fixed it....although I'm not sure it really did. Again, that deadline was looming...

| Dresden Plate Centre - I think my partner likes birds and toadstools. |
I pieced together a back from a fat quarter and some scraps. I even hand-stitched the binding on (which goes against my new love of machine stitching) because I think I read somewhere in the official rules and regulations that we're supposed to do it the traditional way. It actually turned out really nice and I can see that it is worth the effort on special quilts.

I'm so thankful to have this one off my plate. And I'm looking forward to receiving my own quilt soon. Okay, not that soon, as Canada Post is officially the slowest postal service in the world!

International shipping deadline? That means it can't be for me. So sad about that. I love your little quilt.

Love your dresden DQ!! Can't wait to see who your partner is!
I love this SO much. I may cry if it doesn't come to me.
Way too cute!
It's charming! Love the little scene in the middle. Excellent!
I didn't see a face until you told me to look for it! Too cute Barb!
I adore the colour combination and can't see a face at all! It has a magical quality to it - with the toadstool........
Just love the bird with the washing line :). Such a lovely design and great colours (surprised me and not usually what I would like)
Hugs, Sharon
