Pieceful Monday

I have just a few finishes to show you on this pieceful Monday. Nothing new, you’ve seen the quilt tops. Well, most of them.

Pieceful Monday - The Scottie Dog Doll Quilt, finished - piecefulthoughts.com

The little Scottie Dog doll quilt is quilted and bound. This quilt is small, just 21 inches square. Just about every morsel of that Scottie Dog fabric, and I had to get a little creative to get it to 21 inches. A little simple quilting through the Scottie fabric with red Aurifil thread, and it was time to bind.

This fun bird print from my stash seemed like a fun backing. I used the remainder of the solid red for the binding.

If you recall from my last post, I made a few hospital gowns. One of them was a lizard print, which many of you liked. I was able to make a simple doll quilt with that fabric as well.

Using this blue 30s print from my stash for the backing, I did simple diagonal quilting through the blocks. The binding is another blue fabric from my stash.

For now, that wraps up my bundle of items that will be sent to A Doll Like Me. I’ve made 5 hospital gowns and will be sending along 3 doll quilts.

Star Crossed Love Quilt

Star Crossed Love is a quilt pattern recently designed by Jedi Craft Girl. Her pattern is so well done; it went together very quickly. While her quilt used white fabric for the background, I chose to use creams so that it will blend a bit better with my decor.

Wilbur thought he’d help hold down the quilt.

For the backing, I found this piece of Pat Sloan fabric that I have had in my stash for years. I made a quick stop at a quilt shop this weekend and found the binding fabric. Other than that, all of the quilts in this post are made from my stash. I’m kinda happy about that!

We are in for more snow today and tomorrow, so you know where I’ll be. I’m going to try to finish a UFO this week. How about you? What are your quilting plans for the week?

Linking up today with Beth at Cooking Up Quilts.
