"Faithful" Doll Quilt

Today is the linkup at Lori's blog (Humble Quilts)  (Here) for a little doll quilt called "Faithful". 



My version is very humble.  I used the Gwen Marston method, and made hst's of a size that I liked, and then cut off the end of the strip when adding it to the center square - no worries if I cut off half of a hst.  It makes it so much easier, and since Gwen's quilts are all so fabulous, I decided I could do it too. The doll quilt ended up being 14 inches square.

A little kitten is snuggled under the quilt in bed.  




When Lori said "quilt as desired", I chose to quilt it with concentric squares to keep the quilting from taking away from the pattern of the quilt.  It was easy to make, and I thank Lori for all of her little quilt-a-longs.  I love them, as I they are so much fun to make.  Here's a picture of the back, showing the quilting; and the triangle hanging corners.  Triangles are added because I may want to hang it on a wall sometime.




I'm linking up with Design-Wall-Mondays, to see what everyone else is working on.  (Here)
