Doll Quilt Swap 5, In Progress

Since my work schedule will be so punishing for the next six weeks, I decided to work on the Doll Swap quilt right away. I will be making a smaller version of the "Slashed Squares" quilt.

For the Doll Quilt, the finished size of the block will be 7 inches. That means the center squares here were 4" cut, and the strips were 2-1/2".Then I cut them apart like this.
I rearranged all the pieces, resewed the blocks together, and here is the finished quilt top.
Then I machine quilted it.
I haven't decided what to use for the binding yet.

Doll Quilt Swap 5, started

These are the fabrics I have chosen for my Doll Quilt Swap 5 quilt. This is a quick swap, due December 1, and I have a ridiculously busy work schedule for the rest of this month and November, so I wanted to get it going right away. This quilt won't have any letters, and should work out to about 21" square.

So I will work on the top this weekend, and then go back to my Alphabet Sampler Quilt. I want to finish the numbers and finish the drawing for my house. Then, maybe, start making the house. A layout for the quilt is forming in my head.
