Doll Quilt Swap 10: Begun

I've had enough time now to check my (secret) Doll Quilt Swap partner's information and likes / dislikes to develop a plan and actually get started. The deadline on mailing the quilts out is in about 2 months still but I plan to do a fairly complicated embroidery / applique piece for the center so the more I can get done prior to receiving my background piece of linen, the better.


Fabric choices for the Doll Quilt.



Inspiration mosaic for the center embroidered piece. All photos from flickr.



A bit of my scale schematics / sketches for the design and an (unironed / untrimmed) bit of the main border.

Back to the sewing machine!

What a cool idea - a doll quilt swap! I love the start of your quilt. So funny, I just posted today on my first doll quilt (and first quilt) ever. Yours is such an inspiration. Can't wait to see how it progresses.
