DQS4: Small Steps Progress

Doll Quilt Swap quilt’s colors, fabrics, appearance and pieces are ready. They just need few hours with me and my machine to get ready.

I spent too much time on considering various options - mainly regarding fabric. I will mail abroad /which is not a secret as I am in Bulgaria/ and there is no way to get the kind of small prints in the colors I would like here if I want to stick to Bulgarian fabrics. Oh, I wish I had a quilt shop around!

This was quite a concern and it led to choosing solids - trying to achieve a fresh, simple and hopefully traditionally-contemporary look /as I obviously avoid to keep things simple about this swap/.

After the first really mixed feelings of what to choose and what my partner likes according to her blog, I decided to be really true to myself and make something I will happily hung in my house - almost minimalistic design and moderate quilting, with fresh appearance and in the colors I am almost in loved with lately.

Fabrics have been cut 5 minutes after the design plan was “approved”. One thing in which I was fast!

No sewing so far has taken place but pictures of the top will come shortly. Hopefully.

I have already mist a sewing day, despite of the urge to start, finish and wash the quilt right away. Well, sea water was just great today and we had a wonderful swimming experience.
