GG'S MINIS

 
Here are the bases
of the two Butterfly 
mini quilts...
Willa's (L) 
is into "blue"
and 
Fiona's (R) 
is into "Purple".

You will notice (I am sure) that there
are a couple little "baby" geese...
flying behind the adults....;)))
😂🙆🙆

My embroidered butterflies 
were just shy of 8.5" and 
so I had to improvise...

I am hoping that the 
white fabric surrounding each
butterfly will "quilt out" from
being pulled up with
my stitching...
Or
perhaps that's just the wind
helping them  soar...
;)))
*********************************
I want to make these dolly 
quilts rectangular..
So I will be searching for some
appropriate fabrics to
make a narrow "stop" border on the sides,
and deeper top and bottom 
borders...

Right now they measure 15.5" ;
not quite big enough to cover 
an American Girl doll..
Plus I prefer rectangular
quilts.

That is what I accomplished 
yesterday and today...

Hugs to all on this dark, 
rain-filled and
gloomy day...

  1. My preference for doll quilts would be rectangular so that they would work well on a doll bed. That said, I think the last one I made was square but that was for an exchange where and I was trying to make things work with the size requirement for it.

  2. I did notice the little geese and my first thought was 'babies' and my second thought was how clever you were to think of that.

  5. I love the baby geese! I think it's a great idea to use little ones. Your granddaughters are going to love them!
