She's back and purring like a kitten. I always find it amazing how something as innocuous as lint or a needle fragment can cause such a clatter in my machine. While she was away a cousins's son and his wife had a new baby girl. I had a boy quilt ready to go but they had a girl and named her Dolly Jean and wouldn't you know I had the exact right fabric to start the quilt in my stash. A fat quarter with paper dolls and doll clothes.
I chose fabrics to match the doll clothes as close as possible, some of the fabrics on the wall didn't make the cut but that is why I put them on the wall sometimes the golden yellows look like yuck brown next to a clearer yellow.
The navy star was on the edge at first then I moved it in and surrounded it with yellow stars because Dolly Jean was born the day of the eclipse. Home again for me and my machine. Hubby and I were on a short road trip to visit my uncle. Now back to the sewing room and stash sewing. --Ann--

Thank goodness she's back and purring! Your layouts for the Dolly Eclipse quilt look marvelous and that paper doll fabric is just perfect!
Dolly Jean is a winner, and not to be denied her time on the design wall! I, too, have that fabric... I am inspired by your four-pointed star design. Well done!
Perfect quilt for Dolly Jean! The design just sparkles. Glad your machine is home and that you had a nice trip.
