Lori at Humble Quilts will share directions to make a reproduction vintage doll quilt on Monday, January 21st. Lori posted a picture of the replica on January 18th, with detailed descriptions of the original fabrics used. She also posted a couple of pictures of her 12" finished quilt. Lori has named the doll quilt "Abundance," as a reminder to be thankful for the abundance in our lives. (I like it!) This morning I selected the fabrics I plan to use to make this cutie.
My selection may change between now and Monday... best to wait for the directions to get a better idea. I think the blue fabric I picked out may be a bit dark, so I'll scour through the blue stash one more time. It looks really dark in the photo!
Looking forward to the directions! Thank you Lori!

I think your selection will work very well, the blue looks light in the picture.
ReplyDeleteLovely!!
ReplyDeleteI like that blue--I have that blue. : )
ReplyDeleteI'll be sewing along on this one, too, Kathy. Haven't chosen fabrics yet, though. I need to get cracking.
My Simply Charming book came today. LOVE it!
I just love "little quilts" or as some call them "minis".
ReplyDeleteI look forward to it...but won't have time! Argh! I'll watch everyone else.
ReplyDeleteI like your picks. I'm going to do this quilt, too, but haven't pulled my fabrics yet. I'm waiting for directions so I know how big the prints can be.
ReplyDeleteYour colors look perfect!
ReplyDeleteI couldn't wait for Lori to post instructions on Monday, so I stitched this little quilt up on Saturday and it turned out so fun - looks really old! Can't wait to see your version too!
ReplyDeleteGreat fabrics! Can't wait to see all the variations.
ReplyDeleteI love the fabrics you chose. I haven't picked mine yet. This will be fun. Hugs
ReplyDeleteYou know... the only person who has to be happy with your colour choice is YOU! But you know that already don't you ;o) Chop and change as much as you like... you might even come back to your original pick... if you're anything like me! :o)
ReplyDeleteLove your blog! Hope you don't mind that I nominated you for the Liebster Award! You can get the details at http://quiltyfolk.blogspot.com/2013/01/11-great-quilt-blogs-and-liebster-award.html
