Design Wall Monday - March 6, 2023

Good Morning Quilters!

Here is a new little doll quilt that I just finished, and the story behind it.  First the quilt:  




And the story:  While sorting some saved papers in a box, I found a picture I’d printed from an auction site on the internet.  It was a quilt that I liked very much.  The picture:  


Also this week I was looking at the hsts I had made two weeks ago:   





There wasn’t a good plan to go any further with the hsts until this week when I saw my saved picture.  I thought, hmmm, I could turn all the hsts into hourglass blocks, and have enough for this little quilt..

Here is the idea taking shape:


And here is my new little doll quilt, shown with my snoozing dog, Miss Penny Lane.  


The hourglass blocks are 3/4” square and the quilt measures 8.5” by 11”.  I added little triangle corners on the back in case I would ever want to hang it up.


This is what I find fun with quilting - making something that pleases me out of my stash.  Hope you have been having fun this week too.

Now it’s your turn - join the Design Wall Monday Linky Party below and we can see what you have made.  Thanks for sharing with us.  Have a great week!

Cute mini quilt! It's surprising how much sewing there is in a mini quilt though, happy stitching!

What a cute LITTLE quilt. 3/4" blocks??? You did a fabulous job. I like the picture with Penny as it really puts the quilt into perspective.

I love your little quilt, maybe especially because it is based on the little antique one. What a great way to use those HSTs. Thanks for hosting the link-up.
