I've been sewing all day. I finally picked an idea for my doll quilt for the Doll Quilt Swap #7 over on flickr. The difference this time, is that my partner may be a bit more subdued with their colour taste, so I am going out on a limb here and scaling back my crazy super-saturation a bit. Oh the agony...just kidding, I like it too. As you may know, I always make two. This time will be no exception.
I am doing Dresden fans. in aqua, red, light pink, and fuchsia with possibly some mauve purple, and for sure some white.
I have redone the block layout a million times. So I decided that I'm just going to go for it and make the blocks, and then figure it out after.
No sewing day is complete without some good watching material. Today was no exception. Gilmore Girls Season 6.
I decided to machine baste, since I have 16 blocks to hand appliqué, I figured I should try and save time wherever possible. Also this will keep the pieces from shifting.
All ready to hand appliqué!
I love this swap!

I love this swap, too! And your technique photos are really instructive -- that's a great idea.
I love what you've done so far!! The machine basting is a terrific plan!
you know how you make 2 quilts each time so you get to keep one? I think you need to start making 3 so I get to have one too. Ok?
thanks ladies! Katy I'll get right on that :P
I luv it! It will no doubt be fabulous!
Your blocks look great, and I love the background fabric you are using!
This looks really cool. My partner also has more subdued taste than I do...it is a challenge! Love your fans!
This is looking great Sarah. Even though it's not in your comfort zone for colours, you still have a zing to this! Can't wait to see it finished.
I love your colors choice. You always pick great color combinations.
Your work is delightful! checked out your Etsy shop.
