Playing with taupes

A selection of "ties" :-) or rather, of 2 ½" strips of most of my Japanese and Japanese-style taupes.
All for the purpose of making these two small quilts :








And these - in turn - will get a selection of candy applique'ed on them, probably in the soft and muted colours that are in that bowl of goodies, making it all into the colours of sticks and stones and the woods-by-the-sea in November colours. VERY unlike my usual palette ... but quite exiting to test the waters in this way. Making doll-quilts :-) (and the making of doll-quilts is all the "fault" of this picture, and this)
Besides, making very small quilts, solely for the joy of it is ... joyful :-) who'd have thunk :-)
And I can experiment without feeling too wasteful too :-)

In love - with the fabrics, with your idea, with the examples...

Now if I could only cut into mine...

Tilde, I just discovered this doll quilt wall today, and my mind has been spinning with ideas. I was making little quilts to send to people as gifts, but I am thinking now that they might just turn up on such a wall.
