This is "DS in Blues" a doll quilt I made for this Flickr swap.
We were stipulated to use the DS Quilts line by Denyse Schmidt for Joann Fabrics. We could also use a solid, both my partner and I like white, and I had Kona Snow handy.
I also snuck in a bit of the 2nd edition Flea Market Fancy (the inner border and binding. They just played well together.

It measures 18" by 18"
I made my favorite HSTs and arranged them to have a diamond with a lot of white ground to fmq.
The inside of the diamond is a nice, tight stipple, while the white outer triangles are a swirl with a leaf. This required some backtracking, but it was so fun. This is also a quilt where I layered polyester batting over cotton batting for more weight and loft. I really love how this worked out. Altogether a great experience for me!
This view and lighting allows you to see the Baptist Fans I fmq-ed in the border.
This quilt shipped today. I included some DS and random charms. Just for funsnies.
I have another mini, for the Modern She Made Swap. It will ship in 2 weeks. Then my final mini (for the near future!) will be given at our TMQG June meeting. These little quilts are a great way of trying new patterns, techniques and fabrics, without letting size overwhelm.

Just darling! I love some of your fine details - the different quilting stitches, the dots(!), and pieced binding. I'd love to see this in person & feel the effect of the dual-batt. Nicely done! And the back??
Ok totally yummy!
