This is my Crumb Star Doll Quilt. I had originally planned on making several like this to be a big quilt, but really didn't like that I didn't use the same fabric in the corners as in the rest of the background. So I have decided that I will make a bed sized quilt like this, but I'm going to use mottled blues and greens for my backgrounds, and yellow for the star points. I'm hoping that will help set the stars out a little more.
I quilted and bound this one in time to use it for the Nebo Modern Quilt Guild's Scrappy Challenge. Now it has been gifted to the Nursery at church (18 mon-3 year-old Children's Class).

Delayed post
Silly me. I thought I had already gotten this written and scheduled. I made this quilt and once again forgot to get a finished picture before sending it off. So this picture is courtesy of Holly, who was the recipient. I used my happiest and brightest Denyse Schmidt fabrics to make this mini for the #sewmystashminiquiltswap. It was a lot of fun. I took inspiration from one of the many quilts found in Millefiori Quilts by Willyne Hammerstein.

Frozen Doll Quilt
This is a doll quilt that I chose to make while I was making a batch of Jacob's Ladder blocks for a quilt-along I was part of. I had this fat quarter of the pink Frozen fabric from a random fat quarter bundle, and couldn't convince myself to do something with it for one of my boys. So this will be given to a little girl in oldest's Primary class (Primary is the children's Sunday School classes in our church). I think she will be very happy with it. It measures about 18 inches square. It is also the first and LAST that I will ever do backed in cuddle fabric. My room was very fuzzed by the time I was done with this little thing.

Purple Quilt
This is a quilt that I finished for my Sister-in-law. It was started by her late Mother-in-law. She requested that I quilt and bind it for her. I am quite pleased with how it turned out.
