Remember the doll quilt swap I signed up for?

Today I got a very exciting parcel.

Two packages, one in pink tissue paper with a green ribbon and one in green tissue paper with a cream ribbon. This was looking very promising! As you can see I was not patient enough to untie the ribbon and look for the sellotape. The tissue paper was torn to reveal...








And here it is in full:




I love the way Samantha's quilted this in non-straight lines to give more texture, and I love the way she's followed the pattern of the blocks in the centre section, so that the bigger squares stand out.




But that wasn't all. I said two packages, remember? The other contained these beautiful fabrics. And on top of all that, she's sent me this cute little bag and some other pink and green goodies, including watermelon popping candy. How cool is that! I haven't had popping candy for at least twenty years, but I think now is the time to start again.



Thank you Samantha for taking so much trouble to send me something I really, really like.

Wow! That's bright! Those hot pinks and watermelon greens work very well together. What was the back like? A single fabric or was it pieced as well?

How are you going to display it? I'm just full of questions today! :-)

The back was plain cream fabric. I'm going to hang it, I just haven't decided whether it should go in my bedroom or my office.

That's lovely. I'm glad you got something so beautiful when the one you made was gorgeous too.
