Just a quick post tonight to show you Maria's finished Doll's Quilt (with more of an explanation of how we approached it right back at the start here, and a progress report here).
I think her favourite parts are the flaps:
My favourite parts are the machine embroideries of her drawings, particularly the duck (above) and her self portrait below:

| I especially love the belly button - Maria's'portraits' usually feature a belly button! |
But for now it's good to get a quilt finished - not much of that been happening recently!
Back tomorrow with a photo,
Sally.
Love it!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty!
ReplyDeleteCame here from Adrienne's On The Windy Side blog after reading your post - you see I loved the name of your blog, Wonky Patchwork, and had to take a look. I have so enjoyed seeing this quilt and going back and seeing how it was made. What a fantastic idea! And obviously the smile on Maria's face says it all.
ReplyDeleteSpending a little time catching up this morning and boy am i glad I am!!! What a charming, adorable doll's quilt! No wonder the dolls may never have the use of it!!
ReplyDeleteDo make the quilt using everyone's drawings! You have the skills to do it! And what a family keepsake it will become. When my daughter was little (a prolific artist as a young girl), I had the brainstorm to make such a quilt only recreating her drawings in embroidery. And i did complete a couple blocks but eventually abandoned the project. A decision I regret to this day.
What a treasure, Sally! I love all of the bits incorporated in this creation!
ReplyDeleteI love it! I love her little pictures sewn in. What an amazing keepsake!
ReplyDeleteWhat a darling little quilt...love the embroidery of Maria's drawings!
ReplyDeleteI adore the belly button and the little heart. It's a wonderful and whimsical piece of art.
