COMFORT DOLLS
If you haven't already, check out Pat Winter's project for Comfort Dolls.
It is a terrific idea and she is getting some amazing response.
Here are some Comfort Dolls I have found on the blogs I frequent:

Progression of a Crazy Quilt Block


Find a great centerpiece picture, print it on fabric.


Choose the fabrics to go around it.



Sew the fabrics around the picture & press.

Add some lace, and embroider.



This was made for a friend's parent's anniversary. (I removed the names.)

It is 8" X 10" and ended up in a frame.

Miss Me Two Times

Two variations of the same angel. The first is made on a neutral color combo crazy quilt piece, the second on the vintage quilt. Both are 5 X 7". I prefer the color, but I think the pastel one is more romantic. You will have to click to enlarge the picture, as it did not come in very large.
I put some U-finish quilt blocks similar to the pastel one on Etsy, plus both the above.
I enjoyed making these, they make me think of letters to soldiers from loved ones.

Time to Ride

With the wind in her face, she rides.
Cares have blown away.
On a long stretch of hi-way she’s free.


Okay, enough crazy quilts, I'm going nuts, it's time for a ride!
