Friendship Star is my first doll quilt from Kathleen Tracy's book, Prairie Children and Their Quilts. Measuring 20.5 inches by 25 inches and pieced by hand. Kathleen went with a contrasting colour for the binding, but I was thinking of using the same fabric as the border. All fabrics are reproduction and I plan on hand quilting.
Until next time.....happy quilting!

Very nice Karen, I love the little quilts from Kathy so much, because of the coloers, and the simple patterns, simple, but thinking about so good.
Greetings, Jeannet

Karen that quilt is absolutely gorgeous and perfect for hand quilting. I would love to do doll quilt one day.
Karen I love Kathleen`s books just got a couple myself following her on the yahoo group plus her bloc.
Your quilt is adorable I agree that the binding would like great with the same boarder fabric. Watchout though making mini quilts is addictive
Lovely Karen!!! I haven't made that one yet, but it sure is a real sweetie!!!
Beautiful! Love your use of colours in this!

Love your sweet little doll quilt! Such a great size to make.
Wow: that looks great: good choice on the fabrics!
Simply darling!
That is beautiful! I can see doll quilts being a part of my future now that we finally have a girl baby in the family. A perfect hand piecing project too.
Beautiful - what a fun quilt!
I have three of Kathleen's books laying on the kitchen table. I have looked through them several times but not settled on what little quilt to make. Yours would be a good one to start with.
Love your little quilt!
What a lovely wee quilt - I've seen this book and thought it was gorgeous - your quilt proves it!!
Hi Karen,
I had fallen behind reading your (but not only your) blog. I love your Fasset klosjes, they are so bright and friendly! I also love the colours of your flowerquilt. And your dollquilt, well what can I say? It is just adorable. I still can't understand how you manage all this *and* your gardening - amazing.
Cheers,
Tineke
Oh, I love this one! Autumn is my favorite season too. Love the colours and the pumpkins!
Oh, that is wonderful! I love the colours!
Jane
