Russian Doll Quilt
Guess who's come out to play this long weekend?
They've been hiding away for eons, waiting patiently for another outing and finally the day arrived. They've had a wonderful time out in the sunshine. Deciding who to sit next to and what colour they'd like to be dressed in! Still lots more play time required before it's a finished quilt top.
I love the plain borders - my first foray into using plains in a quilt. Every block is a different size, as the centre doll was fussy cut from the fabric, so I have to work out a way to make every finished block the same size. Some of the blocks are very wobbly too, so will need to be squared up. All in all it's a very "organic" quilt, growing at its own pace, no strict conditions attached. It's full of home grown goodness and really really good soul food.
