This wonderful monthly challenge is the brain-child of Barbara @ Cat Patches. I love to start something new and really don't need someone's nudge to do so, but it is a good reminder to us quilters - keep it fresh and keep it fun.
I had a lot of NEW projects thru the month, but my designated NewFO was my project for the Monthly Doll Quilt Swap Group. This month's theme was 'Diamonds are Forever'. I challenge myself with working with different textured fabrics - silk and linen - with cotton.
And of course I send my signature little dolly to match - I have a tutorial for her HERE if you would like to make your own. And since I love to cross stitch, too - my labels are stitched on Aida cloth and fused to the back - always tiny buttons are involved with these two.
Thank you Barbara for the inspiration and be sure to check out everyone's NewFO for April HERE.
Sewingly Yours,
Sharon

Sweet baby doll.
Wow, I love those diamonds; you did a great job as usual! I know that the quilters that receive those quilts and dollies treasure them.
I just love this little quilt! And of course the doll that always goes with them :) Of course, you know I like to "keep it fresh and fun" too!
What a cute doll quilt! Love your diamond block. And, always the little doll to match - so cute.
I think I'm putting "keep it fresh and keep it fun" on a wall hanging for my sewing room. Love the diamonds.
Very pretty doll and quilt. I love the color palette you used. I'm a big fan of purple.
How cute to do a dolly with your doll quilts, that makes the swap extra special! Love the colors you used in the quilt and I'm definitely going to check out your doll tute.
Just love your quilts and the special touch of adding a doll.
Your doll quilt and doll are adorable.
Cute DQ & love the little doll too!
