Holly Hobby Doll Quilts

I was in a Valentine-y mood when I started these two projects....
....with a little Holly Hobby nostalgia thrown in.
My Mom found these cute HH prints for me a couple of years ago. 
They were such cute patterns on their own that I didn't want to cut them up. I'm just calling them whole cloth quilts....and hand-quilting them to make up for the lack of piecing.


The back of this one is another vintage fabric that Grandma Ruby gave me from her stash. I honestly couldn't have found anything more perfect in a store!


I've begun a little "economy block" pillow to go with it. I love this pattern, although my technique is still a little sketchy. I think this is the pattern that I want to make baby boy's quilt out of...but I'm still figuring out the nursery colors.
I still have 3 months, right?


This other little quilt was quick and came with it's matching backing.


...and I chose a grey binding (left over from another project) to add just a dash of something modern.


Now we'll just have to see how long it takes me to finish the two tiny pillows to go with these quilts.
I can already feel myself getting distracted....
