I feel just about fully recovered from VBS week here, and as a result I've been working on a few things. First of all, a few more blocks for the Summer Sampler Series:
The Garden Path block.
The Arkansas Traveler.
The Star block. Very creative name I thought. Ha ha.
I've also made a bit of progress quilting my doll quilt for the DQS.
Hmmm. Let's see. Zig zags. Bright colors on a neutral background. Colorful hand quilting. Ring any bells? It's so funny because I originally was going to go with some horridly complex and nerve-wracking blocks, but decided that sometimes simple is just as good. And I LOVE the way this is coming out, it's just funny (and totally unintentional) how much it looks like last round's quilt. Although that one was a way bigger pain in the butt as far as piecing went. This one came together like a dream.
Anyway, I hope this is cool with my partner because two hours of handquilting later has me feeling very invested in this sucker.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE how you are stitching that doll quilt. I would love more information about your pattern and to see the whole thing
Jeanne has already said exactly what I wanted to say. I'm not so much of a quilter myself, but this one I love.
This the cutesy zig-zag quilt I have ever seen! Love it!
Oops! I meant "cutest"--sometimes I hate predictive text!
Is the bottom picture your own pattern? Or is there a place to get the pattern online?
Thanks in advance
