Remember
this quilt? I had some blocks left over after I played with the layout. When the order came in for the doll quilts I pulled them out, made a few more and put together this simple, yet bold creation. What a different feel, even though all the blocks are the same. A true testament to improvisation.
These doll quilts don't ask for fancy quilting. Or maybe it's just me being lazy? Either way, this was another simple quilting design. Because I don't like to stipple when there are so many seams to go over I merely went in the ditch on the diagonal. This seemed too simple and quite boring, so I added the wavy line for a different texture. I would definitely use this idea again no matter the size of the quilt.
Don't you love the backing fabric? It is too good not use. It is from the older line by Moda - Peas and Carrots, designed by Sandy Klop. I need to get to the store and buy a bunch more. I just used the orange as well - but that's a different quilt (coming soon).

super cute - that backing fabric is great! all modish :)
love that peas and carrots...it's pretty hard to find.
I love the triangles! Simple yet it makes a statement. I like your free motion quilting.
Darling!
i DO love that backing fabric. and the quilting on this one is fun, too.
Love it Cheryl. The only HST piece I made I basted up last month with backing sent by my BFF in Florida. Your doll quilts are all adorable.
