chairs!!

ok, I am in love/obsessed with these little quilts. I saw lucyellen's chair quilts on the doll quilt swap on flickr and I knew I just HAD to have one. But, what are the chances that she will be my partner, so as I often say to myself, if you want something done, do it yourself. I drew a chair on a piece of paper, cut strategically to make a paper pieced pattern, and went to town. Here are a few I have made:

 
scrappy green

 

outdoor blue

 

red
The last two have the binding sewn on to the front, just waiting to be hand sewn down to the back. ( In case you were wondering why the edge looked weird )

Fabulous! I've been loving her chair quilts too, but will not be the recipient. So I may have to use your inspiration to make my own, too :)
