Friday Night Sew-In Results!

For the past three Friday nights, my daughter, Valerie and I have had a sew-in.  This week, we joined Heidi and friends in participating in their sew-in.  This is such a great idea to set aside time to do the sewing that we tend to put off.  I have made GREAT progress on my Dutch Doll quilt that my friend, Laverne, helped me to get started.  You will see in the pictures, that there are really two different patterns of dolls we have included in this quilt, I like it that way...this quilt is not boring!  Each little doll will have it's own personality.  I am so excited!  I only like sewing two strips of dolls, before I begin the sashing between each strip.  I am still working on the fabric that will be included on the sashing.  I have placed a strip of floral fabric between one line of dolls, to see how it works.  There will be some two-inch squares including in the sashing.)  The pictures you see do not have the sashing between the cross strips of dolls, to separate them.  With all the fabrics in my stash, I am sure I will come up with a good combination.  This quilt has been such a joy to work with.  My goal is to have it quilted by a quilt store in my area that do that on a long-arm, after which I will hand embellish the dolls with lace and ribbons, etc. 

Thanks to Heidi and Valerie for the Friday night Sew-In idea!  and for those who joined us, including our wonderful blogging friend, Mary, better known as Needled Mom!
