Best laid plans o' mice and women...

 So I did finish the doll quilt, which grew quite a bit from what I'd planned but that's ok. I'm fairly happy with it.

  I added a 3 inch border around the tumblers so it finished at about 29"x24", which I think is big enough to use with a Cabbage Patch doll, which is roughly the size of my niece's favorite doll. The blue from the backing shows through the white some, which I wanted because otherwise the white was too stark against the Nature Chorus fabrics.

 I used a left over piece of blue fleece for the backing, and quilted a stipple over the tumblers and did echo quilting on the edges. LOL I sound like I actually quilt, which I do a very poor job of. One of my corners for the binding actually turned out square though! YAY lol. I bound it using left over Sunshine strips from an old project.



 I ran into a problem with the baby quilt. The backing/fleece panel I bought turns out to be the wrong size for what I want. The way the panel was I'd end up cutting off the little duckies heads so I think I'll head over tomorrow and try and find some plain fleece for it or an all over repeating pattern.



Since I've noticed everyone's been showing off some of their decorations I thought I'd show some of my favorites from our tree. They're a collection of DH's, Little Bit's and mine. Can you guess which ones belong to who? LOL


 The placemats didn't even enter my world so hopefully this week.
