Doll’s Bed Quilt: 2021
Little Miss
came to stay and while I stitched some of her “clothing repairs”, I set her a task to make
a pretty design using some 2 ½” squares I’d cut from leftovers for my scrap bin. I’d been inspired by Pat Sloan’s very practical
scrap sorting philosophy. Let’s just
say, it’s a fantastic idea and soooo organised…but a lot of work (just yet for me, anyway!)
with my scrap box still fit to burst.
We decided
that her design looked so nice it was deserving of being sewn up into a
doll’s quilt. I finished it off after
she’d left for home, adding a cute little pillow and as a special surprise,
finished off a cloth doll kit she’d been given as a gift.
How wonderful
to finish something in a matter of days!
I watched
quite a few great videos to work out sizing and this one by Treasurie (less
than 4 minutes) was certainly helpful, particularly for making the pillow and
pillow case. Size depends very much on the
doll and the bed you have.
