Back in the 1990s when Bob's mother was downsizing, in the basement was a child's miniture cupboard that his Grandpa Bloyd had made for Bob's sisters. Knowing that he would not inherit it, he photographed and took measurements of it at that time. He has wanted to duplicate it since then; and is now working on it. When it is completed, I will blog again about it. He mentioned that it would be charming as a little quilt cupboard ---- that is all I needed to hear, and I am now making doll quilts to fill some of the shelves. I have completed two with more in the works!

| This one measures 10.5"x15" with 2.5" blocks. |

| The flying geese blocks are 1"x 2" and the quilt measures 11.5" x 15.5". |
To minimize bulk, I'm not using any batting, but using flannel for the backs. The binding is single fold, 1/4" finished. They are paper pieced and machine quilted.
They are enjoyable to make taking very little time in comparison to a larger quilt; and use up lots of little scraps.
