Quilt from Men's Hawaiian Shirts, Part 4

I laid out the "big blocks" that consisted of the 4 patches with side borders and cornerstones. There were enough for the length of a king-sized bed. I made five more big blocks that just need the cornerstone strips to supplement the quilt's width. 

I may have to supplement with a piano keys border. It amazes me that two paper bags of men's shirts have turned into this beauty. I have completely fallen in love with it and am sad that it won't be part of my collection. As my first commission, I have taken great care to ensure that the seams nest together. 

One publication I picked up at thrift has been a game changer for me. Piecing Makeover by Patty Murphy. A book of simple tricks to fine-tune your patchwork. It is well written with full color images.  

Seller update: I continue to pick up rag dolls for sale. This Russian doll may be a keeper. I have never seen a cloth doll with wig hair. I am unsure whether to put something on the end of the stick she is holding, or remove it from her hand. 

Her brown dress also shows some fading on one side, like she was displayed near a window. I may have to dye it brown to freshen it up. 

I didn't hesitate on picking up this angel primitive. These types of dolls are sure sellers.
