Another Doll Swap

Before I knew that I was going to do the DSQ12 I signed up for the Quilting Gallery Doll Quilt Swap. So I now have two doll swaps I am participating in! But it's all good because I get 2 new doll quilts to hang up in my room so I am excited!

So this past weekend I designed the doll quilt that my secret partner wants. She asked for any type of holiday type quilt that she can hang up. I wish I could do one for all the seasons for her, but alas...I have settled on an Easter quilt so that she can use it right away!

I probably won't use these exact colors because I don't know what I have on hand, and will use something that I already have, but you get the idea. I found the bunny block online and someone had made a paper pieced one, well she didn't leave a copy of it, so I had to create my own. I will sew on buttons for the eyes and then a little pink felt nose.
I like this quilt so much I might actually make one for me! But who knows! Here is the doll quilt that I will be making for the DSQ12...

 

I am really liking this quilt, and might make me a copy of it too...

My partner really likes curves, which is something that I have avoided since starting to quilt. They look really hard and I just haven't had a desire to do them yet, so this quilt will be challenging me to 2 learn 2 new types of blocks, the New York Beauty block (sun) and a Dresden block (tree). I think I have found a good tutorial on the tree, and maybe on the sun as well...but I am having a hard time figuring out what size they will be. I mean this is a doll quilt so I can't make them too big, but we will see. 

If you have any suggestions on a good place to look at that has a Dresden tutorial and pattern as well as the New York Beauty block, I would LOVE to see it!

Now let the games quilts begin.....
