Flower Garden Applique Doll Quilt

Posted on September 16, 2009November 30, 2013 by Martha

I wish I could remember where I saw this quilt pattern. It must have been in one of my books, but now I can’t find it, of course — this is always a problem for me. The original quilt may have had 2 petals, because I vaguely remember my husband telling me it would look better with another petal — advice I ignored as you can see. If anyone is familiar with this pattern, please let me know.

This quilt was made in 2002 — it was the first doll quilt I made for my sister, Sally. The flowers and the prairie points are vintage dress fabrics and the green is also vintage. It is all hand stitched except for the prairie points which I sewed on the machine because they were a little bulky. The hand quilting consists of an outline around the flowers, diagonal quilting in the white, and a little motif in the green triangles. I think this is the smallest doll quilt I have made.

All three of these little quilts are displayed on the walls of my sister’s bedroom.

    I can not believe how TINY those little pieces are. I totally need to take some patience lessons from you. 😉

    That’s a great way to use hexagons. I have to go back and look for the penny – I know I’m going to be impressed.

    What an AMAZING little quilt! The hexagons and prairies points – WOW! Ditto on what Jan said – I have been guilty of scrapping scraps, but seeing the quilts you make – I’ll have to hang on the EVERYTHING! VERY PRETTY!
