I went to our local IKEA today in search of a doll bed, and I got the last one in stock. I am so glad I went today, or I would have been really upset. It is very cute, and just needs a quilt. I saved lots of fabric from Bella's quilt because I knew I wanted to make a doll quilt for her. I decided to make on in the jelly roll race style. I cut my strips 1.5" wide and various widths. I foolishly thought I could control where the different patterns and colors went, but I won't do that again. Actually, I really like the surprise element in the jelly roll race. This little top is about 17" x 19". Just right for the little bed.
It is now in the stack of little projects to quilt. I made sandwiches of everything this afternoon, and made the bindings. I have five mug rugs, one doll quilt, one AAQI mini (that I am hand quilting tonight), an 18" square red and white mini, and an exchange 12" square (that is also going to be hand quilted). With luck, and patience, I will get it all done on time.
Joyful quilting, everyone.
