I’ll make this post short and sweet. I wanted to post some close-up pictures for
my Jo’s Little Women students of our latest project called “Yankee Doodle”. The quilt is designed by Jo Morton. This was a challenging quilt. Not only are there 56 or 57 – 3/8” diameter hand
appliquéd circles in the center (small and crazy – right?), but there are a
whole lot of stars to appliqué too! This
quilt took approx. 50-60 hours to complete.
I have no idea if that is really slow or very fast; I’m just glad it is
done.
The selection process. Auditioning 90 fabrics for the stars. Close-up of star applique.

Finally, this cabinet has been passed down in my family. It is over 100 yrs old and a cherished part of our family. In the storage below you can see approximately 70 or so small quilts from the Little Women Club.
Enjoy and happy quilting,

WOW is what I say. Is that going to be a new pattern? I really really like it.
Diane...this is a Jo Morton pattern. It is part of her Little Women Club. Sorry, It is not available anywhere else but in the club. Glad you like it.
Very nice, I like it a lot.
Your Yankee Doodle is OUTSTANDING..... The applique is well done, but I think the fabric choices are what make the quilt shine!
Absolutely stunning! I adore your quilt - the design, the fabric, the applique (whew), all of it!
6 Oh my goodness, what a fantastic job you did with Yankee Doodle! Mine is still under construction. And I see you've been in Little Women a long time with a whole cupboard full of quilts. How fun to keep them all in one place. Thanks so much for sharing.
Very nice display! I am still working on my Yankee Doodle! Maybe it will get done sometime next year!
