I made the Bear a doll quilt for her birthday. She picked out the fabrics.

I meant to mention how gorgeous it was last night, but a cute little Bear kept being distracting...

:) Thank you!

That is lovely! And Bear has excellent taste :)

How big is it?

So cool! I love the shapes and the purple/red.

This is fantastic! Did you come up with the design? It's really mind-bending!

Thanks! And I'll pass your compliment along to her too.

It's quite small, maybe 18x20". The first thing Bear did was to arrange about half a dozen dolls and animals on the floor, announce that they were taking a nap, and try to put the quilt over them. Guess I should've made it a bit bigger!

Thank you!

Thank you. Yes, I did -- I was trying to copy a zigzag quilt I saw in a book, and I failed, but I'm pretty happy with the result anyway.

WOW! Stunning design and beautifully vibrant color combinations!

Thank you so much!

Rose picked out these colors and I didn't have much of the green fabric so I asked her to pick out a different green instead. I didn't think the second green went with the other three colors nearly as well (it was a pale chartreuse with brighter dots), so we went to the fabric store and bought more of this brighter green.
