It was so fun to check out all the mini quilts made with the new collections from Windham Fabrics!
This one is mine. Ugh! I really wanted to smooth out that wrinkle in the buildings! I promise it was all nice and flat when I sent it off. Should have quilted it more. Silly postal system smushing things up!
Anyway, this is the Ciao Bella collection.
This is the Celestial collection, the quilt was made by Rosemary Cavanagh.
This is Precious Flannel, made by Meriel Aho.
This one is by Erica Jackman and uses two collections – African Surf and Mosaica.
This collection is Born to Quilt and the quilt was made by Kim Moyer.
All these little bitty squares were made by Aimee Gevin. The collection is called Cynthia.
This quilt was made by Terri Carpenter. The collection is called Swim Team.
Here is Far Far Away. The quilt was made by Steffani Burton.
Lots of little squares! This is the Shenandoah Valley collection. The quilt was made by Linda Sinclair.
This is the Governor’s Palace collection. The quilt is by Margaret Schroeder.
This quilt was made by Leisa Mayer. It is from the Think Pink collection.
This is the Cooking Italiano collection and the quilt was made by Alyssa Carrion.
This is made from Windham’s collection of 108″ quilt backs. It is the Modern collection. I love the color pops! The quilt was made by Deb Burton.
This quilt was made by Emily Lang. The collection is American Cowboy.
This is the Ampersand collection. The quilt was made by Allegory Lanham.
This is probably my favorite. (Am I supposed to tell you that?) Check out the pieced work done to create the woman in the lower left. Amazing. The collection is called Bake and the quilt was made by Natalie Cox.
This quilt was made by Joanne Harris and the collection is called Ava.
Finally, the last quilt is made from the Wharton collection. It was created by Joan Radell.
Do you have a favorite?

Lorraine (starkl on the forum) has been kind enough to host several doll quilt swaps for us on Sewing Mamas. Check out these quilts from the Fall Swap –
What’s a doll quilt?
It’s a small quilt that’s between 16 and 22 inches in both length and width. It can be used for a wall hanging, a table centerpiece or a doll’s bedding. The quilts are pieced or appliqued.
A doll quilt is great for beginners because the small size makes it a very manageable first quilt project. Check out Kim’s quilt close up:
And look at this one from Jeri:
Even the back is full of fall color:
Here’s a couple more, I’m resisting the urge to overwhelm you with every single one of them. I love them all!!
Vanessa’s stacked coin quilt:
Jayne’s quilt:
Check out this blanket stitch! Love!!
Jozel’s wonderful fall colors:
You want one, right? I know I do! Lorraine will be hosting the Winter Doll Quilt Swap very, very soon!
In the meantime, you can pop over to the forums and search the Runway for “doll quilt swap” to see other past participants’ quilts. I may also be unable to resist the urge to show you more of the quilts from the fall swap in the next day or two… :)
Happy Sewing!
