Ms. Red, If You Please

I completed the dresden doll quilt for my daughter at the OKCMQG Sew Day.  :)  I'm so pleased with the end result.  I hope she is as well.  She's seen me working on it, so she'll probably end up having it in her possession before her 2nd birthday in August.  It's so much fun getting to make things for my kiddos.

She is madly in love with her baby dolls these days.  Her Daddy and I are getting her a nursery care center for her babies, and I thought this little doll quilt would be the perfect compliment to her big gift.

Can you see the little lace detailing up in the right hand corner?  There is another one on the bottom left that you can't see in this picture, but...

I attached a button to this one.  It's such a nice little extra detail.  Speaking of extra details...while hand quilting this I decided to stitch a little heart onto one of the dresden plates:

And then the backing...Oh, I love it.  It's German and perfect. I've had it for a while now waiting for the perfect project.

The whole thing just turned out better than I could have imagined.  The sister quilt, that I gave to a pal for a charity auction, is also very sweet.  It has a sweet light blue binding (and sashing on the backing) with a center panel of the red Riley Blake Chevron in place of this German Little Red.)  I wasn't sure I'd like the blue, but it turned out very nicely as well.  My friend is going to take a picture of it for me so I can share it with you.  I forgot to snap one before it left me.  

And now this little gem goes into hiding so hopefully my daughter forgets about it before her birthday.  HA!  Yeah right.

Sew long for now,

Amanda
