In quilting news, I made this top last week for the doll quilt swap I'm in, which is also due at the end of this month. This is tiny -- just 12 inches wide.
I've never made a miniature quilt this small before -- the little rectangles in each churn dash square are only a quarter inch wide. I ended up hand piecing most of it, partly because my machine was away getting service but also because it was all just so freaking small and hard to handle.
This has to get sandwiched, backed, quilted, bound and out the door by April 26th. But it'll be a quick one to quilt -- not going to do anything very fancy to it except in the border.
The tulip quilt went off in the mail today. It'll be five to ten days before it gets where it's going. Keeping my fingers crossed that it doesn't get lost!

It's gorgeous, I love it! So tiny too!I like the fabric, most look the civil war reproduction fabrics? Love to see the label!
I'm so glad Sofie is on the mend. Now you've just got to get through the grouchy phase! I love the little quilt, you must have been very patient to work with such tiny pieces.
I'm glad that Sofie is feeling better. Sounds like you all have had a bad time of it.
I have to say your quilt is beautiful, and I can't even imagine doing those tiny little pieces. You have a lot of talent and patience. Awesome.
