Doll Quilts Featuring Cheddar

While working on Lori's cheddar doll quilt-a-thon, I was thinking of other doll quilts that I had made using cheddar fabrics. This pattern came from "Twenty Little Four Patch Quilts" by Gwen Marston. I shamelessly copied her fabric choices, as that is what mainly drew me to it. This would be a good series quilt - doll, crib and full sized, I think. This is an odd little quilt, isn't it? It is a four patch with sashing and post, paying no mind to the orientation of the two colors of the four patch.


Finally, this Exquisite pattern really uses more of a gold. It also was in one of Gwen's Twenty Little books that were published by Dover. Great books if you can find them. They pop up on ebay at times if you are so inclined.

The cheddar doll quilts look like a series already. Fabulous, I love cheddar. I'm loving making Lori's little quilt, I'd love a full size one too.

Love these little quilts. I appreciate the quick finish that they offer, in between my larger projects. Looks like Lori has quite a group following her. (me too)

Love the doll quilts!
Would rather be piecing than grading papers, especially w/ our temps in San Antonio heading towards the upper teens!
