I have to admit, when I first heard of the doll quilt swap, I thought it was a silly idea. I mean, when I make something, I want to be able to use it, right? And how in the heck was a quiltie the size of a large book supposed to keep me warm???
I don't know what possessed me to sign up for the doll quilt swap7, but I did. And now I know why people get so crazy about doll quilts! They make a great wall hanging, duh! So now my hope is to someday, when I have a proper sewing area, to have a wall dedicated to these little beauties that I get through swaps.
Sign-ups for the doll quilt swap8 started and ended the first part of January. If you're interested in participating in the next round, which will probably happen late spring or early summer, here's the doll quilt swap group link to check after this round is over.
This is the quilt I made for my secret partner
I wish I was your secret person! So cute!!!!

Very cute! I love the quilting - looks like bird seeds. My mini quilt wall is the favorite in my house, start one for sure!

Penny, I just STAY jealous over here in the land of unreliable mail. I'll continue to live vicariously through you and your crafty friends until I return to the land of plenty. :-)

I am planning to donate doll-size quilts to our local neonatal intensive care. My knitters group has been making hats, booties, and bassinet blankets but they also welcome quilted blankets. I thought I would sew a few for a change of pace. Are you aware of any free patterns or design ideas available on the web? The little quilts/blankets are roughly the size of an American dish towel. Thanks!
