Pinks!

Sewing, sewing, sewing.

Last week, I wasted time searching for my camera.  This week, I lost our budget ledger.  (Ack!  I need more sleep.)  Fortunately, I found it after a frantic few days, but I still haven't done as much sewing as I thought I would.

I did finish this super cute and simple doll quilt for my niece and goddaughter.  The Assistant sewed the strips together and quilted half of it.  I finished it up and bound it.  Hopefully my sister doesn't find the binding too weird, but I love the idea of the two sizes of stripes (and it was in my scrap box too!).  I especially love the back, which was a gift from Alaska.  I was happy to find a use that didn't required cutting up the lovely dolls!
I trimmed down all my scraps and snapped a picture, only to discover it was horribly blurry when I prepared to upload it.  Oh, well.  Y'all know what a pile of scraps looks like!

I'm working on the binding for my turquoise, lime, and white quilt.  Yesterday was busy and there were more important things than binding!

Be sure to check out other pink projects today!

What a cute little quilt.

Very cute doll quilt. I really like the binding, it adds a bit of whimsy to the quilt. Hope things slow down so you can stitch a bit. It sounds like you need a sanity break.

The assistant did a great job on the quilt! Love the binding and the backing. Very cute. Hope things settle down and you can get so much needed sleep and some sanity sewing in. Hope the first aid kit has not had to come out this week =)

You've shared stories of what happens to all of us. Your doll quilt is precious and I love the back!

I love the binding! Great solution for the doll print too. I also hate cutting some of my novelty prints up but they can't ALL be quilt backs!

Lovely little finished doll quilt. I'm sure your godchild will love it. The little Matrushka dolls on the back are beautiful. I haven't seen this fabric anywhere before.

Wow! Love everything about your cute little doll quilt. Makes me want to make one, too.

 I thought I wrote this, but it seems to be lost somewhere or I never wrote it at all… August was a quiet block month, with only 42 16-patch...
