From practising: 'Ramen lappen' to a dollquilt finish!

This small quilt is made with cathedral windows pattern: 'Ramen lappen' as Supergoof calls it. She taught me how to make cathedral windows when I followed her workshop, I wrote about it here.

Before I would start something big I thought I'd better practice and make a dolls quilt, or better: a bear quilt for this French doll bed I showed earlier.

Practising really helps: I learned how to avoid 'ugly crossings' and make better round shapes. I already continued to work on my first cathedral windows piece, made with 'linen look' cotton, like I showed in my other post . At first I thought the  'linen look' fabric might not be suitable enough but I think it is okay now. I will be back to show the progress.
The doll quilt measures: 32cm by 32cm .

Have a nice week,

Medallion quilt finished!!!

This medallion quilt just started with the teddy bears square in the middle and grew bigger without a plan or pattern, round after round. So much fun to make!!!! My goal was to use up lots of old fabrics.
My hand made teddy bear is fitting right into this colour scheme ;)

Fabrics mostly from the 90's  with snowmen, 'wild' animals,

Dogs, melons, reproduction fabrics, points cut in different sizes like the liberated way of cutting and sewing Gwen Marston uses in her quilts.

Dachshunds (teckels we call them), Santa Claus (yes he too), Halloween fabrics (never knew what to do with them), lots of teddy bears,

 Old Debbie Mumm fabrics,

 Fits on my table too.

 The quilting is done with crocheting cotton nr 5 in big stitches,

 And the backing fabric,

The whole quilt measures: 1.80 m by 1.80 m.( about 70 inches by 70 inches) and has a very light weight batting.
I hope this will be the start of a lot of finishes to come this year!!!!!!!!!!!
