I have decided to share a doll quilt I made for the DQS 13!
This was a VERY hard quilt to send away.
Only the idea that I could make it again for myself allowed me to do so.

"Deadly Dresden"
22"x22"
Shmidt fabrics used in the Dresden, binding, and backing.
Essex linen used for background.
I used machine quilting,
and hand quilting.
and hand quilting.
For the hand quilting I used my favorite pearl pearl Cottons!
matching the color to each Dresden section .
I have another piece of that center tattoo fabric except it says Quilt or Die.
The two tattoo pieces I received in a box of scraps. They inspired me to create this quilt. I struggled over whether to try to make the center a traditional round. I really did not have enough fabric. I like the squared center.
When I make another one for me, I might try to use 20 different Denyse Schmidt fabrics. Have I mentioned I'm a DS Quilts addict?
