Doll Quilt Swap...giving

I took part in DQS11 recently and this morning I received a lovely message from my secret partner Ruth, of ruthiequilts (in Utah).........her request was for a doll quilt for her 7yr old son who loves snakes etc (not sure if real or toy....) So I came up with a little quilt made up of different scale HSTs to suggest snakes. As often happens, these things take on their own life and I pieced a ladder on the back.........get it? Snakes and ladders! Ruth had said she liked embellishments so I added a ric rac snake with googly eyes. It was fun to make but I am so chuffed to be able to show the pics she has posted on flickr..makes it all worth it!!
