A Pair of 4 Patch Doll Quilts

Boy, I just love the 4 patch, don't you? There is so much that can be done with them. Here are two variations in doll quilts. The pink and green one goes way, way back to an article in Quilter's Newsletter Magazine about Jo Morton. This was before we all knew of her. The magazine featured a few of her doll quilts, with patterns.

The little quilt on the right side was just made from leftover 4 patchs and HST. And, I didn't even realize it until I look at it now, that it's a variation on the block from my design wall in my first post.

Jo Morton #2

Here is another Jo Morton doll quilt that just got bound this weekend. The way that this was presented in the Little Women's club was in cadet blues, and it was wonderful. But...I just had to make mine different, so I chose the greens and blacks from her fabrics. I wish I had just made it in blues!

Jo Morton

One of the local quilt shops has offered the Jo Morton classes for the last few years. I participated a couple of years ago. This is a little one that I like very much. I must confess that the one aspect of quilting that I really don't care for is binding. Quilts end up waiting for some time to be bound, and I do them in batches. Such was the case with this one. I just love this greyed blue fabric that Jo did in one of her lines.
