I am hosting a virtual quilt challenge and show...the theme is "Scrappy Lil' Doll Quilts"-wanna play? The rules are simple:1.Reply on this thread that you would like to play. Include a link to your blog.
2.Between now and July 24th,make a scrappy little doll quilt that adheres to these guidelines:
- Quilt measures no more than 20" on any side
- Must be a newly made quilt-not one you previously made
- Must be made entirely from your scrapbag
3.You may post pictures of fabrics and sneak peeks only...no finished shots until show day,which is Saturday,July 25th. On this day,post your finished entry on your blog. Maybe someone smarter than me can make a button for us to add on our blogs.....anyway,I will host a giveaway. Each participant is entered,as well as anyone who leaves a comment about my finished entry on show day. If you put a link to this site,you'll get an extra entry. Tell all your friends! I encourage you to do a give away as well,but its not necessary to play.
4. On July 25th,tour the blogs and check out all the great doll quilts! Now....who wants to play?

I have been wanting to do a doll quilt for some time. Not sure if I will have time since I will be on vacation in July away from home. I added you to my reader so if I don't get to play along I can follow you. Can I wait and see if I get a doll quilt made before July 21 before saying yes?
This is a no pressure activity guys! :) No quilt police will be monitoring you.Hee Hee......Sha....use the one you made! Susan and Jackie -do it when you can! I just want everyone to have fun!
Hey y'all...do we want a flickr for our pics? I posted a sneak peek at my potential fabric selection on my blog.
I'd love to join as well. I need to use some scraps to make a few matching crib/doll size quilts for the big sisters. Sara

I'll play along too. Perfect timing on this since just yesterday I was planning on what to do with my one and half in squares and was thinking they would be perfect for a doll quilt. :)

OKAY, OKAY....a little late, but this sounds like fun. I'll post a few scrap choices first thing in the morning. Better get myself in high gear!!
Can I still participate? I would like to try it!
we are very laid back here....all are welcome!
shoot. i forgot to leave a comment earlier! today is show day, don't know if i'm too late, but i'm going to post my quilt pics in a few minutes.
it's very simple, since my older daughter (6 1/2)helped with the piecing and top stitching (we finished the quilt yesterday afternoon!)
can't wait to see what everyone else has been up to. thanks so much!!
