At last I finished this quilt for the Doll Quilt Swap and it's in the mail heading off to its new owner. It was very difficult letting go of this one as it has taken many hours to make. It's been great fun to do but as I was making it I began to wonder whether it was rather a complicated design to do as a swap quilt. I wondered whether I must be mad to put all this work into something I am sending to a stranger, but I suppose that's the nature of doing these swaps. I am rather proud of it as I think it has turned out really well. I hope my partner likes it. I'm waiting for mine to arrive now.
The photo's don't look as good as they do on my computer. Does anyone else find that the quality of their photos diminish when they're loaded onto blogger?
I took these two pictures of Alchemilla Mollis in my graden with the morning dew drops sitting on the leaves. Don't the droplets of water look amazing?
Off to the gym now! Bye for now, Maria.

I love your quilt! I can see why it must be hard to let go of it!!Your swap partner is so lucky!

So very cute. Hoping you receive something equally as lovely in return! It would definitely be a hard one to send off.
How cute is this...love the fabrics you have used..Lovely & Bright..
cheers
I think I'd have been tempted to whip up something else a bit smartly and to keep the birdy quilt - it's so cheerful and such fun. I was thinking just the same about our alchemilla mollis the other day - you get the same effect of diamonds in lupin leaves too.
I love your birdy quilt! Gosh you did a great job with it! I love to make hard/intricate/time consuming things for swaps. It gives me the opportunity to stretch myself and I feel so happy to be sending my very best to my partner. I'm sure your partner will love your swap quilt!
Sorry, but I would have kept that quilt, it's so cute.
The photos look great, I love the drops of rain on the leaves.
This is one of the loveliest swap quilts ever - I wish it was coming to me xx
