I am participating in the ninth round of the Doll Quilt Swap, you can take a look at the flickr group here.
My partner selected some lovely quilts as part of their inspiration mosaic and one in particular caught my eye. When I saw Rita’s version last year, I knew I wanted to give it a go but I have always been put off by the amount of time I would need to commit to get it finished.
That’s the beauty about doll quilts, they allow you to try different layouts and techniques that on a large scale may be a little daunting. The pattern for this quilt can be found in Material Obsession 2.
I really enjoyed making this quilt, it did take a fair amount of time…especially when you consider it is only 21″ square but I am thrilled with the finished product.
It was a great confidence builder and when I have more time on my hands I would love to make it to scale.
Fingers crossed, my partner loves it as much as I do.

absolutely gorgeous! I love the colours and I haven't even started mine yet – yikes! I hope I am your partner (or I'm Spartacus'!)
Very pretty, Kate! I'm sure your partner will adore it!
If your partner doesn't feel free to send it my way. I would be MORE than happy to take it off your hands :) It's BEAUTIFUL! I LOVE all those pretty blues. GREAT JOB!
it is just beautiful, Kate. I have been wanting to try this pattern ever since I received Material Obsession 2 (I ordered it from the UK, so I didn't have to wait for it to become available in the US), but just haven't found the time. All those blues compliment the pattern so well…and the quilting is perfect!
Kate it's absolutely gorgeous and as usual I'm impressed by your speed!! How could your partner not like this. I really like that you only used blue and the quilting is just perfect. x
fabulous quilt… your color selection is fantastic! now i really want to make this quilt!
I've been living under a rock! How did I miss this? It's utterly gorgeous K. Next up, king size. (ahem).
that pattern looks great in blues. scrapping does take time commitment but if you love it and prepare the strips in advance it has direction and impulse. Glad I found it! kathy
