Here's the little vintage doll quilt we will be reproducing. Adorable, huh?
All the fabrics are printed. As you look through your scraps there are 2 different faded pinks in this little cutie and two double pinks. The "plain" looking blocks are a light pink stripe and the flying geese with the brown print have a faded pink as well.
The hourglass blocks are a printed/faded tan and blue/brown checked.
As hard as I tried I couldn't find a gold/cheddar that didn't look completely pukey. I'm sure someone will put it in there anyway and it will look super charming, I opted not to.
Isn't it adorable? I'm calling it Abundance. It is so easy to take things for granted. As we move on into 2013 I want to be thankful for the Abundance I have, including family, friendship, health, food, a house, a paycheck and a substantial fabric stash.
Now, you've got the weekend to search through your scraps. I'm not telling you how much you need because it is such a small amount. You may opt to make 4 blocks and put them together. The one I made finishes at 12".
Come back Monday for directions!!
I love this! Can you share more info about the Quilt Along? I have been MIA in the blogging world for a while and am not back -- watch out world! LOL!
ReplyDeleteGathering fabrics now! Thanks lori, it is such a fun quilt!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous little quilts!
ReplyDeleteWhat a little cutie. I might have to find the time to squish this one in somehow.
ReplyDeleteIll be search through my stash this weekend. Thanks, Lori.
ReplyDeleteThis is a lovely little quilt, look forward to your instructions.
ReplyDeleteThis just might have to be my first quiltalong! Adorable quilt. Need to dig through all my scrap bins over the weekend.
ReplyDeleteVery sweet little quiltlet. I'm so glad little quilts aren't on my list of banned new projects!! : )
ReplyDeleteJust too sweet - can 't let this pass by - would love to join in! Your name of Abundance says it all - I feel like my life is overflowing with it!
ReplyDeleteHow many ways are there to say "cute"?
ReplyDeleteI'm in!!! LOVED your last QA, which was my first ever.
ReplyDeletePulling my fabrics now!
ReplyDeleteLooks like fun! :)
ReplyDeleteCan't resist... Abundance is just too cute! Scrap basket, here I come! (again!)
ReplyDeleteWith the whole weekend to find fabrics, I should be ready by Monday, hopefully! It'll be fun!

This little quilt is fabulous! I can't wait to get started.
ReplyDeleteOh, it is darling! Pukey cheddar, eh? :)
ReplyDeleteWelll, I think I might be able to do this darling quiltalong. Yes, I too, live in an "abundance" world. I'm trying to purge one thing every day. Why do I have mis matched coffee mugs bursting out of my cupboard? Not anymore!
ReplyDeleteSuper cute! I wasn't going to take on any new projects this year but that is tempting:)
ReplyDeleteIt's so sweet! I like your version, too, without the cheddar!
ReplyDeleteOkay, that is the cutest little quilt! Will pull some fabrics and be ready!
ReplyDeleteOh Lori I just love it! The antique one is so sweet! I can just imagine a little girl with her doll wrapped up all snug in her little quilt :0) I enjoyed studying all the different prints with you. Yours is such a lovely reproduction. I will definitely have to make this one!
ReplyDeleteIt a cute little doll quilt. It's got the part of my brain that keeps track of my fabric inventory buzzing. I wish I had some old worn clothes to make use of.
ReplyDeleteVery sweet quilt. Your repro. is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteYou know I'm in! Not sure that I will make it along with you (bcs of carpal tunnel surgery on left hand Tues.), but I really like it, and your wall looks fantastic!
ReplyDeleteAdorable! I'm totally in and stoked! Love little scrap quilts, and I love your quilt alongs! Let's do it every month!
ReplyDeleteOh! My goodness!!! Sooooo adorable, now how could a girl resist this!!!! After my chores today I'll have a look through my stash and see what I can find, I think this is going to be such a fun little project!!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is a super sweet one. Can't wait to get started. Going to search for fabrics now.
ReplyDeleteI’m in! I just went to the store (stash) and bought (selected) my fabrics. It’s a cute little quilt. Thanks Lori!
ReplyDeleteI've never done a small one before, but this one is just too adorable Lori!
ReplyDeleteWhat a little sweetie! I love your interpretation and its neighbors hanging together; it successfully captures the essence even without the cheddar. :-) Just wish I had more "faded" prints in my stash to choose from.
ReplyDeleteAbundantly adorable!
ReplyDeleteLori, I can't wait to start. I finally finished my last quilt with Quiltmakers Scrap Squad and will have time to play. Thanks for hosting another quilt a long. Hugs
ReplyDeleteLove this! I always wanted to do one of your quilt alongs, this time, I am in! Thanks for doing this.
ReplyDeleteWheeeeeeeeeeeee....getting my scraps out RIGHT NOW! This is SOOOO nice of you! My other little quilts started because of you just delight me SO much. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

ReplyDeleteI'm definitely in. Cute quilt, great name for it, and the quiltalong will be fun to follow, as they always are. I'm heading to my stack of yellow repros right now, looking for some pukey gold or cheddar. I love treasure hunts like this :)
ReplyDeleteLoving it! See you Monday!! Enjoy your weekend.
ReplyDeleteHow cute! I'm in! Just can't resist.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness just tooooooo cute!
ReplyDeleteJust caughting up and found your post. Abundance is a great name for this quilt because we have a great abundance of fabrics to choose from unlike the hands that made this antique guilt I would think.
ReplyDeleteI think this little gem is going to be moving to the top of my smalls list. I certainly have an abundance in my stash and some great cheddars. Thanks for the wonderful inspiring post.
May this year be an abundance of blessing to you and your family.
Wonderful, I'm in like for all your other quiltalongs !
ReplyDeleteThat's such an adorable quilt. I must be insane -- I'm mentally choosing fabrics and colors. :-)
ReplyDeleteSo cute.......I can't wait!!!
ReplyDeleteWow, Wow, Wow, I just finished this cute little quilt, thanks for sharing!!
ReplyDeleteWarm greetings, Jeananet from Holland
