Another doll quilt

So I have had some rail blocks left over from Meckenzie's quilt for 3 years now. I did use some of them for a different quilt, but I still had more, so I thought as I was making the quilt for Meckenzie's baby sister, that I would do a doll quilt for Meckenzie while I was at it, and this is what I came up with.
This is Meckenzie's original quilt.

Here is the doll quilt.

Are you ready for this?

So this is one of my favorite quilts that I have ever made. It is for Jesse's brother's new baby coming in September. And it's super cute, so watch out.

It all started by centering around that elephant print. I knew that I wanted to do prairie points, so it all just kind of went from there.

It's really hard to see the quilting, because I found the perfect color thread that blends in well, but I had a lot of fun with the quilting on this one. I did it on Jana's mega quilter, and it only took me an hour and a half to do the whole thing. That included sewing down a prairie point two different times, and having to stop and get myself unstuck from that, and also reloading the quilt to do the borders on the sides. I did those freehand flowers like I had done on a previous quilt. Plus there are little flowers scattered throughout the quilting on the main portion of the quilt.

The pattern that I used for those square within square blocks was a little off. The largest triangles were just too small, so after cutting all of them I had to cut some more, which left a bunch of triangles for me to make a doll quilt out of. So I made her a matching doll quilt.

Another star quilt

So not that anyone reads this blog anymore, since I don't post very often. I'm guessing unless you have it listed on your blog update list, you don't come anymore.

Anyway, I did finish a new project. I actually have another one finished, but it's not given yet, so on the slightest possibility that this week Heather starts reading my blog, I'll wait until I've given her the quilt to post photos. But I'm just saying, it's stinkin' cute. So be prepared.

This quilt I made for my old college roommie Mary, and her cuter than cute little boy. It is another star quilt, and this is the 3rd one I've worked on. This time I did it different. Instead of cutting templates and piecing that way, I just stacked all nine fabric squares together, and made the cuts all at once. Then I sewed, and trimmed the excess. Super easy.

Unique tidbit about this quilt, it is a stash quilt. I didn't buy any new fabric to make it. Not even the back, batting or binding. But anyway, it turned out really cute, and I sure hope that it arrived at its destination today.
