Exciting mail arrived with Christine's doll quilt she made just for me and I couldn't be more thrilled, I love it!
The itty bitty half square triangles are squeal worthy and check out the gorgeous hand quilting. Thanks Christine.
I can finally reveal the quilt I made for Christine.
The house blocks are foundation pieced and are 4" It was hard to find a pattern so I just reduced one down until it was the right size. From memory, the quilt measures close to 20" x 15"
I still haven't gotten back to much sewing, I've been sick again with a stomach bug. Hopefully I'm all better for the Sydney Quilt show this weekend. We're spoiling ourselves and staying in the city for two nights. There are plans for a blog meet up but I'm not sure how that's going, domestic flights have been cancelled this week due to volcanic ash cloud.
P.S. winning quilts from the show can be viewed here.

That tiny house quilt is just so adorable! What a lucky recipient!
I am coveting both of those quilts. Naturally, the little house one is calling my name and I love the very scrappy red and white fabrics you chose. Christine's choice of borders and setting fabrics give her bear's paw some real zip and that quilting!!! Your are both lucky swappers.
Both quilts are adorable, what a nice swap.
Both quilts are equally beautiful. So much love an dedication went into both. Have fun at the quilt show. Looking forward to seeing your spoils.
Oh my, Janet, both quilts are darling!
Oh what cute doll quilts! And the hand quilting on the one you got is wonderful! I love that wooden needle case! Hope you get better for the Sydney show! Wish I were there again!

Hi Janet
Love the way you take pictures, I must take some lessons.

Beautiful doll quilts both sent and received!
Both these quilts are fabulous! I love the traditional house block- I've always wanted to make one and the doll quilt size might just be what I'm looking for. And the Bear Paw turned on point is fabulous too!! Wonderful colours!
They are both such lovely quilts. Hope you are feeling better, you need your strength for all that shopping.

Awwww... the doll quilts are super sweet!
Lovely little quilts. I absolutly love the red and white schoolhouse quilt. Your blending of so many different reds gave such wonderful depth. Christine is so lucky! So are you, to have that beautiful bears paw from christine. Her hand quilting is just perfection! thanks for sharing. karen.
What inspirational doll quilts. When you need a project - a start and a finish - this is the way to go but it seems to me, having someone special in mind makes all the difference. Every stitch is made with fine effort and love.
Hi Janet, Those doll quilts are both lovely! I can't imagine how you possibly got those houses into 4" blocks! Eek! I hope you and your family are ok.
Love those doll quilts...shame not to see you at DH!
