Humble Quilts doll swap quilt - Birds in the Air... on a slow boat?

This is the quilt I sent over a month ago, and haven't heard whether it's arrived to its destination in Spokane, but I sort of doubt it has.  In my last post, I showed you the quilt I received from the swap - from Lori herself - and I love it!

The one I made was inspired by a quilt I saw in the book Hidden Treasures by Lori Lee Triplett and Kay Triplett:

I used good Nogawa indigo from the family-run indigo factory David and I visited two years ago.  It is the deepest deepest indigo!

I also wanted to use a wide variety of scraps in the quilt, so I used a lot of pinks and browns -

And attached the scrappy border, log cabin style:

See so many special little doll quilts here at Lori's blog. 

I don't *think* Robin reads my blog but on the off chance she does - Robin.... so sorry this quilt is late getting to you!  I thought it would fly airmail..... birds in the air and all - but instead I'm sure it's on a slow boat!

UPDATE July 14 - quilt arrived!  I will never take airmail for granted again.  Just got a nice email from Robin. I'm so relieved it finally made it!

Humble Quilts Doll swap quilt from Lori

Today is one of those "rainy days and Mondays" in Tokyo... and here's something cheerful for it - a couple weeks ago I received my Humble Quilts doll quilt swap quilt from none other than Lori herself!  I just love it and I find myself looking at it often.

Double pinks, lighter pinks, blacks, chrome yellow.  Just terrific!

Thank you Lori!

It has a lovely feel.  Lori hand quilted it.

It's soft and drapey.  It looks great from afar, and closeup.  I just love it.  I am going to add it to my rotation of mini wall hangings.

Thanks again Lori!  I know it's a lot of work to organize a swap.

Check out all the quilt on Lori's blog Humble Quilts!   Lori also has an active Humble Quilts facebook group.  It's fun to see all the doll quilts there.
