Doll Quilt- Quilt along Anyone?

Many of you commented on this quilt when I had the photo as my blog header. I resized it in EQ to be a doll quilt. Oh, I just love how it's turning out!!! I thought it would be fun if any of my blog readers would want to do it as a quilt-a-long? I know Kathie said she would do it (sight unseen, I might add) so that is one person. If I can get a few more I'll post the first installment January 1st. It is actually a little more complicated then it may look at first. Color placement is everything in this quilt! You won't need much fabric and the finished doll quilt would be 24" square. I was thinking of posting it in 4 parts, 1 part a week. I'm a slow quilter and only am working on part 2. Any takers?
Here is another project I've been working on for a quilt shop sample. It is called Mockingbirds by Lynda. I have the borders ready to machine applique. I would rate this pattern HARD and I feel like I'm an experienced piecer!!

    By looking at the pic I can't figure out how you made it so I would love to make it. I enjoy making small quilts.

    Hi Lori, count me in! btw, I love the Mockingbird quilt. too bad it's a hard one. I haven't ordered the pattern yet, maybe I'll have to think about it more before I do. :-)

    I love that pattern and would like to take part in your quilt-along.
    I've decided I need to make some small quilts in 2010 to use up stash and get something finished more quickly.

    hmmm...interested but, will need to see the fabric requirements. This is outside my box, so I would have to dig to see what might work. But, I would definetly consider the challenge!

    Me too, Lori. I don't have any cheddar though. I may have to use an alternate from my stash. On the other hand, I may have to go shopping!

    Sign me up! I usually make a doll quilt to start off the new year. I remember hearing that how you start off the year is how you'll end the year. One of my aunts always made a pillow on New Year's Day. Maybe she shared that saying with me.
    I'm really excited to make this!

    What a fun idea - I don't think I can truly commit. We will be having one last bit of turmoil after the new year (a happy one, though *s*) I'll be right on the sidelines cheering everyone on . . . and drooling *s*
