Pink Nesting Dolls

For some reason I've always been fascinated by Nesting Dolls and decided to make some of my own with a twist.  I plan to embellish these gals one day


Batman it is

It took a very LONG time to finish this Batman quilt, as well as finding enough different prints to combine.  I finally finished it for the ABSOLUTE Love of my life, and hope he enjoys it.
Once I ran out of fabric, I began making crazy blocks with the leftover scraps (recycle and resourceful...LOL)

(And it's already on the way to a DEAR friend of mine)

This is a quilt I made for one of the old neighbor kids, whose now all grown up with her own child.  She also affectionately calls me "mom"...she's like one of my own daughters.




Lyla
