DOLL QUILT TOP DONE

I finished the doll quilt top that I posted about yesterday.  I left off the final plain border that was on the original.  It did not seem to do anything for the quilt and my piece was getting bigger than I thought it should be.  Mine ended up about 22 inches by 25".  I have since learned that the E-Bay seller has added the size of the original and it is about 19 inches long.  So mine is bigger.  I am satisfied though.

I got so frustrated trying to figure out the last round of on point squares.  If I kept the row not as wide, I was ending up with too many squares or diamonds instead of squares.  Wider, too few.  I finally just went with less squares.  It looked like the maker add in spacers to make her row fit.  The original piece is so worn that it is hard to tell if it was background fabric or a print.  I went with the print.  I did figure out that the maker used a scrappy round as you can see a few of the fabrics and they aren't alike.

Karen Mowery from Sew Primitive Quilter is working on the same project.  I am anxious to see what she comes up with.  She is much better than me at working with Electric Quilt.  I am sure she will be posting soon about the project.

I gave a link to the original doll quilt that is listed on E-Bay in my previous post but will repeat it here.  It is in bad shape.  Will be interesting to see what the final bid is.

Glad you stopped by.  I will be back in the sewing room today working on a UFO.
