Por razões diversas o tempo não nos chega para tudo o que gostariamos de fazer. No meu caso, um trabalho a tempo inteiro não me deixa o tempo livre necessário para pôr em prática os projectos que me passam pela cabeça. Por isso a ideia de fazer quilts mais pequenos, alguns dos quais verdadeiros quilts de bonecas, tem vindo a tomar forma. Tenho um objectivo para estes trabalhos. Cobrir uma das paredes do meu recente quarto de costura e dar-lhe um ar mais aconchegado.For different reasons time is not enough to make everything we would like to do. I’m a full time worker and the time I have to spend with my hobbies is limited. The idea of making smaller quilts came to my mind and for a while I have been making doll size quilts. I have a purpose for these projects. I will decorate a wall of my sewing room to turn it cozier.
But I see other advantages in small projects besides they are quicker to finish. It is very rewarding to finish a project and a small project has more chances to be finished then a bigger one. I can try more techniques and I can keep more quilts in less space.

Neste quilt experimentei uma nova técnica de "manga" para fazer paralelogramos. O quilting, esse subtil toque final, foi feito assimetricamente e os cantos adjacentes têm um desenho diferente.Tenho trabalhado no meu quilting em movimentos livres mas ainda não estou segura para o aplicar num trabalho de maior dimensão. Em breve mostrarei os progressos. A combinação de ores não é bem aquilo a que estou mais habituada mas afinal isto é um quilt de brincar e nãoum legado para futuro.With this quilt I tried a new technique for making quick parallelograms using a “sleeve” method. The quilting, that subtle final touch, is asymmetrical and adjacent corners have a different pattern. I have been working on my FMQ but I’m still not secure to apply it on a big quilt. Soon, I will show how it goes. The colors match was another experiment. It is quite different from what I am used to. But this is just a doll quilt not an heirloom.

I like it! And so precise.
I'll bet it will be an heirloom someday! Lovely little quilt.
Qué buena idea ! La pared en la que pongas los doll quilts te va a quedar preciosa, ya tengo ganas de verla!
Que bonito que está! Suponho que conheças a parede de doll quilts da Hillary :)
Que lindo trabalho!! O quilt deu um efeito muito charmoso. E a idéia de fazer quilts pequenos para colocá-los na parede é muito bacana! Vai ficar lindo.
It is a very pretty little quilt. I think that is why I like to make little bags - because it is quick to have a finished project.
I have seen the idea of decorating the walls with small doll quilts - very nice idea.
Yo también hace semanas que estoy pensando en hacer mini quilts, sobre todo para experimentar nuevas técnicas y porque ya no sé donde poner los grandes. Además es una forma de poder utilizar restos de telas.
Voy a ver si me animo :))
Se fica assim pequenino, estou para ver em grande.
Your quilt is sure to be an heirloom someday. It is just beautiful. I like the color combination.
A wall of these small quilts would be quite an impact and be cosy. Small it is, but also sweet.
Woau!!!!! That quilt looks very pretty!!! Good work. I like work with rhombuses, I make a Star with that.
It's a very lovely quilt.
The corner is perfect.
ciao ciao
What a beautiful Quilt!
Kind Regards,

Your doll quilt is lovely. It's a great idea to work on smaller projects in the limited time you have for your hobbies. I am motivated by being able to finish things so it would work well for me.
What a lovely small quilt ! and a good way to learn a new technique !
