This is one block of a quilt called either Paper Doll Quilt or Precious Doll Quilt by Kreations by Karon and was made by Faye Steffy of Littlefield, Texas, (Big Mama) who is 78 years old, and believe it or not, this is her first quilt.
I'm thinking of my first quilt now - bunches of 2-1/2 inch strips painstaking sewn together in a simple pattern
Not for Mrs. Steffy. Nothing so simple as that!
Here are a couple of Mike's co-workers, Kay and Betty, holding her quilt. Betty (on the right) did the quilting you can see around each little outfit.
Although this is her first quilt, you can tell Big Mama is not new to sewing, embroidery, and smocking. In fact, Betty says she sews for the public and is well known for her beautiful handwork. She also makes ceramic dolls.
Here are the individual blocks.
Beautiful. I bet it was a lot of fun to do, and I'm looking forward to meeting the creator of this quilt next time I get to Littlefield.
