chevron doll quilt for Blogger's Quilt Festival

It's festival time again!  Thank you again to Amy for sharing her "creative side" and masterminding this great event.  


This doll quilt is being entered into the "mini quilts" category.  It's made with the scraps from a matching chevron quilt.


The fabric is "Let's Pretend" by Sarah Jane Designs.


She is a beautiful illustrator and fabric designer.  Sarah Jane sells her designs in lots of shapes and sizes, including wallpaper and jewelry!  You can see her stuff here.



How fun to have a matching doll quilt to go with your own quilt!!!

gene pool in reel time - Blogger's Quilt Festival

Gene Pool in Reel Time was inspired by a quilt made by Jen Kingwell.  


This fabric is designed by Zen Chic for Moda, which I purchased at the Houston market which you can read (or rather, see cool pictures) about here and here.  This fabric isn't due out for a few months.  


It's a great line of fabric for all you film critics.    



I'm entering this into the small quilt category.
