About a year ago I did my first ever doll quilt swap on an internet quilting forum. I no longer had any excuses to fudge my corners, which up until then had been messy. I just wish I had discovered hair grips earlier.
Some people like to fold over a double thickness strip instead of doing a single thickness strip as I show on the video. I have always been a bit wary of ending up with too much bulk, which is why I have always stuck to my method. Either way, the method of folding at the corners to get the mitre is the same.
As for the doll quilts... yes I will show you the quilts I made and received. You can expect a little miniature quilt show, starting in the autumn!
I think using these Bobbi Pins and we call them is a great idea. And if you only knew that I threaten my girls all the time that if they leave those around the house, I'll throw them away. But now I think I'll save them and give this method a try. :-)
