Yay! I am delighted to be back with
Kathy's Slow Sunday Stitching in 2017. Today, I hand basted a practice piece for my Dolly Dress-up quilt that was started last January.
The top has been finished for several months as I pondered on how to quilt it. Since it is a child's quilt, I considered machine quilting to be the best choice. I wanted to quilt it myself, but as a hand quilter (usually), I was not excited to learn free-motion on my home sewing machine. Thus, the top waited for me while I made up my mind.

I decided to do a combination of hand and straight machine quilting. The sashing will be machine straight stitched and the background will have a gird pattern. Each dress will be outlined by hand-quilted stitches. The practice piece will hopefully eliminate goofs. By next Sunday I would like to be working on the the actual quilt top.

The little girlie outfits make a very sweet quilt.
Thanks Karen. I look forward to outline quilting them.
What a lovely project to work on! I like the combination of some machine and some hand quilting. ENjoy!
Thanks for linking up to Slow Sunday Stitching!
This is one of the cutest quilts I've ever seen on the many blogs that I follow! So much fun!
Hi Juliana, Thank you for your kind comment. It is a cheerful quilt to work on. Now I am anxious and stressing to get it quilted. Stay tuned. Kindest regards, Jill
