I started this yesterday and just finished it. I have so many small scraps that seem impractical to keep around, but got the idea to do doll quilts. It gives me a chance to practice machine quilting and binding, which have always been my weaknesses. Plus, I've always wanted to make something for my neice Kailey, and was unsure of what I could do that I wouldn't flake out on.
The backing fabric was one of my most beloved scraps. It's got some nice metallic gold in there.
Turns out, on a tiny quilt, all the flaws are the same size as a big quilt, so UTTERLY noticeable! But I've already learned a few lessons from this, and may now be brave enough to attempt a table runner.
LOVE it! :)
