Little Quilts and drawing winner

I received my wonderful doll quilt from Dorothy yesterday. Isn't it amazing?! And yes, that is hand quilting!! Thank you so much Dorothy, it will surely be a treasure in my home.
 Here's a little quilt I made for a friend. A larger version was designed by my other friend Jill. You can find the pattern free at the Baum website.
Here is another quilt I finished but because it is for a special challenge I cannot show it. We each got an old block in red or wine (like the blue one on the back of mine) and we had to make a 24" quilt. We could slice, dice or keep in whole. The unveiling is next month and I'll be able to show it then.

Thank you all for posting your photos or sending me a photo of your Midnight Stars. I had my hubby draw a number which was 7- Maureen from Pursuit of Quilts! Congratulations Maureen. Please email me with your address and I'll get the package in the mail.

Have a wonderful quilty day!!

    Pretty quilt you received. That pink really makes the doll quilt, very antique looking. I also like the back of your quilt-pretty quilting, can't wait to see the front. Cute idea for a challenge.

    Wow Lori, I don't know where to start. What a great quilt you got from Dorothy! I love your little quilt. I've seen the pattern, but never thought about doing a mini with it. You have to love those colors. The challenge one is very intriguing. Can't wait to see it.

    The dear little quilt sashed in pink just says "that is what a quilt is all about" - so charming & comforting.
