More quilting and a finished doll.......







I have really been trying to get a few quilts put together. For a while, all I was doing were cards and postcards and things for groups. I have the big purple and green one all pieced together and I just have to go buy some backing and batting.....I started putting this sampler (pictured) together last night...I have two more blocks that I am going to put in opposite corners at the end. the fabric is one of the borders I am going to add and it will have three more fabrics that I haven't picked yet. Right now , it is just shy of a twin......the block with all the little triangles in the picture was the hardest block I have ever done....it took me two hours to do it right! I hated that block for a while....



I also finished the black and white doll for Sanna....She said she wanted over the top and I think it is. I used old curled up fishing line I found in the basement for hair....she almost looks like a voodoo doll! Yikes! The hardest thing on these dolls is the seam allowance for the feet....You have to get it just right or you cant do anything with them.....Remember, the face was painted by her so I built the doll around it...This my thank you for the faces she sent me...I am now going to work on the painting of the yearbook project....(the one that never ends! haha) Melinda

I'm sure Sanna is going to love that doll - she is certainly OTT!! Great job :)

Sounds like you are going great guns on your quilt projects too :)
