Babushka Dolls

I love nesting dolls or as we always called them when I was growing up Babushka's.  This was a very hard quilt to complete and took a long time.  Each doll was painstakingly paper pieced using foundation paper.

 The grid lines had to be measured and drawn on with a washable pen.  The faces were drawn on with fabric marker.

 Each set of three dolls has coordinating fabric.

 The pattern called for another set of three dolls but 9 was my limit.  I really liked this pattern and I love the way it turned out.  But it was definitely a difficult project which took almost a year to complete.
