Pretty In Patchwork Doll Quilt When You Feel Like Making Something Small

Sweet Patchwork Doll Quilt For Something Small And Special.

This quaint little doll quilt brings back childhood surprises that grandma would come up with. Many handmade gifts are treasured by children. That special little gift is tucked away in a shoe box, to be taken out years later and found to hold the warmest memories.

If you feel like making something small and fun, this sweet quilt can be made in an hour. It’s satisfies that need for the feel of fabric and transforms left over fabric into something really pretty. That fabric piece that was never used because you couldn’t see it’s use in anything, might make up the sweetest doll quilt.

Simple mini charm border in pretty pink and blue set the scene for this sweet quilt. The real reason for the quilt is to make a comfortable bed for the miniature doll and her bear, each warm and snug tucked into their quilts.

These small quilt projects start a love for quilting. They’re wonderful for experimenting, building skills for piecing, color matching, and seams. Using mostly fabric scraps, there’s no catastrophe if you make a mistake.

Left over charm packs are perfect for this project. Easily size up adding an extra row. Make one or two extra miniature quilts with small bits of velcro so the ‘linen’ can be changed later. Make them in different colors, mixing and matching colors and prints. The whole project is fun, these quilts are so darned cute!
