Baby Doll Quilt With A Quaint Dresden All Pretty In Patchwork

A Baby Doll Quilt For A Special Little Girl And A Fun Dresden To Make.

When I read this story about a doll quilt that was made for a very special little girl with red hair, I couldn’t have imagined a nicer design than this Little Red Riding Hood Dresden. Remember your baby girl at around 18 months old. It was as though it was yesterday, and yes… so glad to be a sewer. Handmades rule no matter what stage of being a mom. Your little one would love to have a pretty little dresden doll quilt.

If you are making this dresden for a little red-haired sweetheart, then raid your stash and scraps and find every little piece that has a red haired girl in the print. Or stay with the fairytale theme, and embroider Red Riding Hood in the center or choose a favorite print. These doll quilts are small project fun providing instant rewards. They’re great for practicing the dresden and other quilting too.

 

 

Melissa of Polka Dot Chair used mostly Heather Ross prints for her sisters baby girl. Use a mix of colorful floral prints. One or two pieces with a wolf or fox sets the scene. Dig into scraps and find animated prints. It could be Red Riding Hood or a little girl in the print that the child is able to resonate with to make it extra special like Petal Flower Fairies or Princess Dreams.

 

The Dresden baby dolls quilt pattern is from the book ‘Pretty In Patchwork’ Doll Quilts. The dolls are just adorable and fun to make.

 

I love Melissa’s idea of making a handmade doll to go with the quilt. The two together to make a pretty pair.

The pattern for the doll is from the ‘Wee Wonderfuls’ and has a collection of 24 dolls to sew from classics like Margot, a topsy-turvy doll, and the button-jointed teddy bear Bjorn Bjornson, to irresistible Evelyn, a wool felt inchworm decked out in mod glasses and a kerchief, and Koji, a fiercely cute spiked softie monster. A great addition to a dolls quilt.

 

The dresden doll quilt is one of the patterns found in the book Pretty In Patchwork Doll Quilts. These mini quilts are the perfect little package to start the fun. They’re pretty, miniature, and a wonderful canvas for experimentation and skill building. See more projects from Pretty In Patchwork Doll Quilts Here.
