Only 102 left to go....!

Nine done, 102 left to finish. Changed the colors in blocks 1 & 4 though. The gold/yellow was too dark and somber for the happy DS fabrics. Three more this weekend and i should be caught up in the count.
Let me know what you think about the change....
While on vacation this week, there was a frame put around this lovely paperdoll poster brought back from Germany and gifted by my friend Barbara.

The pictures don't do it justice... I was a big fan of paper dolls in my childhood. Here's a bit of detail.

Must've ironed a million (slight exaggeration) charm square HST's in the past 2 days. They were paired with Kona White and sewn at our guild's 'Quilt Inn' this past winter. The fabric line is discontinued from Connecting Threads. I love the colors---need to decide on a layout. Will welcome suggestions on that :-)Happy sewing!!

I definitely like the yellow better than the gold. And that paper doll poster is lovely! I still have all my paper dolls, including the ones I inherited from my grandmother (1950/60ish Barbie paper dolls.)

Yep, I like the lighter yellow much better. Happier, somehow. LOVE the paper doll poster! That was my favorite part of the Mary Englebreit Home Companion magazines, the paper dolls...I still have them all!

Your framed poster is so pretty - I must get busy and get mine framed. Aren't we lucky? I'll look through some books to see if I can find a pattern for you...
Your FW blocks are very colorful and so happy. All with templates?

I agree on the yellow. So far I have resisted the farmer's daughter, but I sure like what I am seeing across blogland. Love the paper dolls. I used to make clothes for models I cut from the paper. Back in the good old days lol. There are so many things to do with hsts, just put them on a design wall and starting turning until you find the design you like.
