As promised I pulled the first doll quilts out of the cupboard.
I'll start with a few - so the post isn't too long.
This precious old one is a favorite.
It's scrappy, pieces within pieces, and who can resist the pink?
The backing is a coarse feed sack woven, and the hand quilting is like a baptist fan.
The little hooked rug is faded - but a sign it was used and loved!
Here's the back.
The muslin sheet is against it so you can see a comparison in the fabric thread count.

I think the maker used scraps from a kit to make this hexagon quilt.
The 'flowers' are a mix of blue and green solids.
Here's another clue it is from kit scraps, faintly I can make out:
Sunshine Quilt Co
It is finished off with a nursery rhyme feed sack backing.
What better use of leftover HST's than a little quilt?
Border fabrics do not have to match!
If you have some HSTs and squares, how about combining them...
they don't have to be the same size!
This one is hand quilted and the colors remind me of taffy.
Fussy cut panels make great little quilts.
This one was tinted, hand appliqued and hand quilted...just not water proof!
Last for this batch, but not least. how about the 1970's?
I love all those dot fabrics all placed together...
I hope you enjoyed this 'turning'
Have a great week!
Great show. My fav is the first. Love the inside of the cupboard.

ReplyDeleteSuper sweet quilts!! I loved the mini bed turning:)
ReplyDeletewhat a delight! I love the cabinet, the quilts and the rug. I too love the first quilt best.
ReplyDeleteThanks for a wonderful show
I make quilts in all sizes but doll quilts are my very favorite! These are just wonderful to see. I can't tell where the boy panel ran. Since you said it's not water proof I thought it must have. I think I like the top quilt best. It must be the fabrics because I don't normally pick triangles.
ReplyDeleteI love the way you are sharing your little quilts. It is like they just came out of the cupboard for show:) Such fun!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your treasures! I think the first and last shown were my favorites!
ReplyDeleteI like the first and last too.
ReplyDeleteSoooo cute...I love tiny, and these are all adorable!
ReplyDeleteVos deux derniers articles (posts) font remonter en moi des souvenirs d'enfance.
ReplyDeleteMon oncle m'avait construit une armoire de poupée. Pour Noël, maman m'offrait une parure de drap ou des habits de poupées qu'elles confectionnait en secret.
J'y ai beaucoup joué. Je vais en parler à ma maman. J'aimerai bien la retrouver.
Merci pour ce moment de Bonheur. Merci beaucoup.
Valérie.
Your two articles trace in me of childhood memories.
My uncle had built a wardrode doll. For Christmas, Mom gave me a bed sheet or clothes dolls she sewed in secret. I've played a lot. I'll talk to Mom. I would love to find her.
Thank you for this moment of happines. Thank you very much.
Valérie.
