Doll-quilts

Remember some of these cutie blocks? You can look at links HERE and HERE They are from the quilt of the month club that I participated in long ago (October 2010).

They have become doll-sized blankets.  The blanket with the flowers has been adopted by Anna.  It was meant to go with one of the others to the daughters of our youth ministers.  Their mother is in the hospital waiting for the birth of their brothers.  Anna loved it so much she asked (and asked) me to make her some flowers.  I decided that if she loved it that much, the girl who didn't get the flowers might be jealous.  (I also have no idea how to make the flowers - they are 3D.).  Therefore I made a third and am letting Anna keep the flower blanket.

Carolyn helped me get the dolly-blankets ready for their new owners.  We also have made bigger blankets for the brother who will be born in March.  I will post them after I bind them!

I think I am going to make a small quilt with the remaining blocks...after I finish some other projects.  I must say that dolly-quilts are fun to make.....esp. since someone else made the original blocks!
