The best way to start off a week is with a parcel of new fabrics... and I was particularly thrilled to get these Lecien prints from Sew Deerly Loved because they're so hard to find. Not sure, but I think there's still more at the shop. I also picked up some 3/4" hexagon papers and I can't wait to give 'em a try ~ they'll be the smallest and cutest hexagons I've made yet!
Well, I don't know how I got started on these sleepy time doll quilts... considering they weren't on the list, and I've had a very sick baby girl to take care of. Happily, I have stacks of pre-cut squares, and for these mini quilts I used the 2" squares, 1.75" squares, and 1.5" squares, which made assembling the trio quite easy.

The inspiration for these tiny doll quilts came, of course, from a Japanese craft book and the pic has been in my flickr faves for years. I'm glad I finally got around to making these because they're so dang cute! I made the middle one first and then the "big" one (it's maybe 11" x 15") and the small one (maybe 6" x 9") last. Olivia will get to choose her favorite to keep and the other two will be going in the shop. It's kinda ridiculous but I wish we could keep all of them and I could make more... somehow I've found them to be a bit addicting to make.
But! There are granny square blocks waiting to be joined by more granny squares, which I will be showing you soon...
