I love tiny doll quilts. I only wish I had girls so I had an excuse to make more! I've made one for my friend's daughter (no pictures of it) , and it was great fun. I have a lot of scraps floating around so I decided to start one today. I've made one block so far and it turned out really well.
I was aiming for it to be three inches, but somehow it turned out to 2 and a half. That's ok. Once I trim the edges, it will still look fine. I got the idea from the block here: http://www.quiltville.com/chunkychurndash.shtml
I drew a three inch square on notebook paper and drew all the lines in the appropriate places, then added seam allowances to all of the pieces so I could figure out what size strips and squares I needed. I haven't done the hourglass blocks yet, my brain just isn't up for any more math. I couldn't find the calculator and hate the one on the computer so I used paper and pen for the multiplication and long division. Thankfully, I still know how to do it. I'm always surprised how so many people make it through school without learning it.
Well, I'm off to catch some zzzzs. Have a happy early Mother's day--and that goes to people with non human babies as well (cats, dogs, chickens, etc). :)
