Linking up with Elm Street Quilts
My goal for August was to quilt my Flowers for Emma top. I also wanted to make a curved edging which I had never done before. The pattern by Sherri from A Quilting Life called for bias single fold binding, something else that was new to me. I found my way through all this and finished it up! It’s good to try new ways of doing something.
My five year old great niece Scarlett – who is a wonderful appreciator of quilts – saw it drying outside after I had washed it. “Hmm” she said,” I could use this for my dolls!” Both her grandmother and myself said… “Afraid not!”
Well done on your pretty finish. I can just imagine a 5 year old saying that!!!!!

Hi Kathryn! HAHA – you have to love Scarlett throwing out the suggestion. If she didn’t ask she wouldn’t get on the list for a quilt for her and her dolls. It turned out just great! I’ve never tried a scallop edge. ~smile~ Roseanne

Thanks Roseanne! Scarlett is such a joy and so funny. She always looks closely at the quilts I make! I have just got out a few very little ones I may have been going to use as small table toppers and I’ll bind them and offer then to her for her dolls!

Hi Kathryn, what a lovely quilt! The scallop edges really add to it. I’m sure that Scarlett will love any small quilts you give her for her dolls. Take care.
