That doesn’t happen often enough around here anymore so I thought I’d better take advantage of the moment and throw it out there for witnesses.
The applique wall-hanging I worked on for ages then kind of forgot to finish is finally done. The blue border is darker in real life. It’s another cloudy day here so the lighting is bad.
Then I also used the 3-inch blocks I made for Jo Morton’s class during the quilt festival to make a cute little doll quilt.
I’ve decided to make a whole collection of doll quilts to decorate my upstairs hallway. They make great little projects to practice new techniques.

I love the color and fabric combinations you chose. They work so well together.
Well done!
Love the Orange Peel! Congrats on finishing two great quilts! I like the idea of hanging minis in the hallway.
Both of those mini quilts are beautiful. Great job!!
Beautiful! I like your idea of displaying them in a hallway.
Our library has a display of miniquilts.
Nice! Like your quilting too!
It's 58 degrees and sunny in Asheville. ;D

They are beautiful! Are you familiar with Kate Adams? She makes fine mini-quilts, which are stunning! Here's her link.

Wow Christine - when you have a finish you have a finish! I love both quilts and love the idea of decorating a hallway with them. I've made a couple but have no place like that to hang them. I keep telling my husband we need to add on to the house so I'll have more wall space and for some odd reason he thinks I'm crazy. :) blessings, marlene
Holy cow, Mary! Kate's quilts are amazing. I wonder how on earth does she makes them so small?!
They're both beautiful. I can't even decide which border I like best for its stitching. Keep up the good work!
Gorgeous! Wiah I had your talent.
I really, really like that wall hanging. The mini is cute and I like your idea of hanging the minis in a hallway.
Doesn't it feel so good to completely finish something?!
I really need to do that again soon.
heh.

Yummy stuff!
Christine, I still think you need to join our Adelia sewing group!! I have just started the orange peel quilt yours is just lovely.
Love the doll quilt idea! My daughter now has the little doll afghan my grandmother crocheted for me about 65 years ago. She made little squares - it's a beauty!
