This gingham doll quilt, which is a mini version of my new king size quilt, was such a delight to make. After I had finished the king size quilt, I threw all the extra scraps into a bag and stashed it in a bin. (That's a bad habit to get into!!!) It felt so good to pull out the scraps and actually use them!
I made a teeny tiny little pillow case to match, because...cuteness!!! (I used my OLD doll bedding tutorial from 2008, which can be found here. Still works. Hahaha!) I haven't done much sewing with my Emma and Myrtle fabric since it came out, so it was nice to use it for this project.
I decided to quilt it on the baby lock tiara, which went very well. I had to snap a picture of it mid-quilting, because the scale of the machine vs. the scale of the quilt is comical. Turns out a lot of throat space is lovely, no matter the size of quilt. :)
Right before I was about to make the binding, I discovered some leftover binding from the king sized quilt. Guess what? I had enough left to bind the doll quilt with about 5" to spare. It was perfect!!
I'm going to give this to my daughter. (Either for her birthday in a few months, or sooner if she reads this blog post and finds out about it. Ha!) The quilt can be used for any one of her many, many stuffed animals....
....or she can use it for her favorite doll, Sage. (Isn't this vintage cradle just perfect? I picked it up at a garage sale for ONE DOLLAR several years ago. It was quite the bargain!)
Seriously, is this not squeal-worthy??? She's going to LOVE it!!!
The doll quilt measures approximately 18" x 22" and it is scrap project #199!
Now, it's your turn! Please link up your finishes for the week. Thank you, as always, for joining me for finish it up Friday! Have a GREAT weekend!
Hi Amanda, Oh, that gingham doll quilt is just so darn cute. I have had a gingham quilt on my to-do-soon list for ages, AND more recently to make a few doll quilts. This is just a perfect combination. It would also allow me to do some practice FMQ on a small scale. Win-win all around. Thank you for hosting! ~smile~ Roseanne
This is the sweetest! She is going to love it, and the fact that it matches so perfectly, binding and all, is awesome. Also, as others have pointed out, the pillow is so cute, too!!
To quote a dear friend, "that is SO stinkin' cute". I'll bet your daughter will be thrilled that it matches your king size quilt. The Myrtle and Emma fabric is a perfect combo!
