After posting my new Moditional Valentine Table Runner (but really it’s an anytime TableRunner without the appliqué!) I started thinking about previous VDay projects.

December Doll Quilt-Magic 9-Patch
Susie in my Wednesday class was asking if the Magic 9-Patch could be made as a Doll Quilt. After a short discussion, she went home and made this lovely little quilt.
Starting with 2 1/2″ squares, Susie made 6 1/2″ 9-Patches. Then she cut the blocks into quarters, rotated two diagonally opposite pieces 180 degrees and stitched the pieces back together to make a Disappearing 9-Patch block. She made 12 similar blocks in 12 different but coordinating fabrics for an adorable, fun and fast Doll quilt. So cute I decided to use this as our December Doll Quilt. The PDF is at the end of this post.
In the meantime, look around this site for LOTS of other dynamite gift ideas and other free patterns.

T-Shirt Scarf
Note to my classes… Red violet/Blue violet 8″ square swap this week. Last swap of the year!
I saw a scarf made from humble t-shirt knit last summer at a gift shop. With just a bit of applique added, it’s price tag was nearly fifty dollars! Now we all know the material cost a small fraction of that!

Twiggy Doll
I know this is usually a quilting site, but this year we have made a Doll Quilt every month. It has been a lot of fun! While I know many of these quilts will be hung on a wall or placed on a table, I thought we needed a simple Doll to go with these quilts. So Twiggy was born… (more…)
