Doll Quilt arrives from Australia!

Received this loverly doll quilt from Dorothy Ramage of dorothysthreadsoflife blog.  It traveled thousands of miles from Australia!  Isn't it beautiful!  I will be sending my quilt to the  midwest tomorrow!  Thanks so much to Lori of humblequilts blog for organizing this swap!!  Can't wait to see all the quilts!





Can't seem to get my Time Warp stars done in a timely fashion, but here are the California Gold and Serpentine Stripes..............but late or not, I am enjoying making them!  And I will enjoy the quilt they make!!



Now I need to go check Barbara's blog to see what is in store for this week's stars!  Check out civilwarquilts blog to see for yourself!!

    Lovely fabrics in your stars. Looking at the fabrics you have used I realise I have more Serpentine Stripes than I thought. Happy you like your quilt.

      My red Serpentine stripe fabric is from a Sturbridge Village Collection, I remember all the fabrics in the range were red or red/cream and my blue and red one is a Windham fabric on the selvage is ' Presents Old Glory - The 13 original Colonies' by Nancy Gere c1850 Patt. 25127

    The quilt you received is wonderful! I'm hoping the one that I get is just as good. Thinking on it, I live in the midwest, hmmm. Haha. I mailed mine off last week to another country. I hope she likes it.

    The doll quilt by Dorothy is full of scrappy goodness. Her choice of fabrics really make a vintage feeling quilt. Lucky you. Great serpentine fabrics. I especially like the large design for a very dramatic look.

      Love doing these stars! Not tired of them Yet! Used 36 in my colonial medallion (made 56 so have leftovers!) and was planning another quilt using the same 6" size so it only made sense to join Barbara's weekly plan!!
