The making of a doll quilt

I joined a doll quilt swap that Lori of Humble Quilts was hosting. I make a doll quilt for my unknown partner and someone else makes a doll quilt for me. There are guidelines to follow such as size and era of reproduction fabrics. I got started on mine.

I decided to make a 4 patch on point. Then I have to try out all the different possible backgrounds. This one is a dark rose color.

This is a dark eggplant color.

A sage green color.

Golden brown here.

Grayish color.

Warm brown.

Decided to mix it up. I used the grayish and the eggplant.

I am now deciding on the borders.

Here it is with the warm brown. I actually really like this one.

I decided to use the eggplant as it makes the center float. I used a light brown for the binding and the back. I stitched in the ditch for the quilting. I ended up keeping this quilt because I didn't think the fabrics were dull enough and the era might have been just a little too modern.
