Happy Birthday Caty (a little over a month late)

I've been waiting to post this quilt for a long time. I started it thinking I had plenty of time before my niece's third birthday which was on April 12 (and I would have if I were more on top of things). But, alas, she just got it last week! And, I forgot to take a picture of the finished product so hopefully my sister will send me one eventually.

The quilt was a kit from Fons and Porter using paper doll fabrics designed by someone I should probably remember. The process was pretty simple. Each square was one doll and the clothes were made by ironing the fabric onto fleece interfacing and the cutting around each piece. The clothes stick on the doll pretty well, and then there is a pocket on the back to keep the clothes in. I think I posted a picture of that a while back because it was my first buttonhole! And as it turns out, it's the first button my niece has been able to do by herself!
