i just got back from taking my doll quilt to the post office...
believe it or not dqs7 was my first doll quilt swap!
i've done lots of other swaps but had a blast with this one.
my swap partner requested a style unlike how i usually work..
but one that i admire..
modern..fresh..new..lots of white.
as in people like
red pepper quilts
film in the fridge
handmade by alissa
oh, fransson!
tallgrass prairie studio
and so on.
i tried a few things..
but nothing seemed to be working out how i wanted.
so i headed to spool for some inspiration.

and came home with these.
and then chopped them all apart on advice from quilt dad.

and ended up with this cute little thing
as is my style lately my spoonflower label is on the back
{in a wonky log cabin frame}
and here is the entire back... i love the contrast the white binding provided
even though it wasn't "my style" in the beginning
i love working this way
and fell in love with this quilt
& it was very hard to send... but i did!!

It's beautiful. It's not my usual style either but I have definitely been inspired and tried new things readng those blogs.
It looks great! Way to embrace something new with a great result~
So cute! it's it FUN and freeing to work with no pattern! I love it!
Adorable!
Great job working outside your zone - it is wonderful!
I'd say you did good!
it's cute for sure
Very very cute! Love the fabrics you chose too :)
Ooooh, very very CUTE Julie!!! I love your fabric selections!
It looks great! I'm sure your partner will love it. I know what you mean by having a tough time sending the quilt. I know I'm going to have that problem, too.
Now that is one sweet doll quilt.

Well done! GREAT doll quilt - and it feels good to do something thats a bit out of the ordinary, eh? I'm testing out that theory myself :-)
I sure that it will be loved!
Hope you are feeling better!
Great Haul! I would be in trouble if I could get in the car and head to Spool! Lovely quilt too!
Very cute. I like the three different sizes for the blocks.
