Sawtooth Doll Quilt

Posted on February 17, 2010July 27, 2015 by Martha

Barbara’s doll quilt is finished. One quick dip in a tea bath was just enough to tone down the bright white to match the border that I selected after I’d made all the blocks. My quilts are always done this way — never completely planned at the beginning.

The quilting is diagonal in the blocks and border, with a little heart and leaf motif in the white triangles. The prints in the top and the binding are all vintage 1930’s fabrics in Barbara’s favorite colors — the back is a new tiny blue printed check and the batting is a piece of flannel sheeting.

    I had to go back and look at the earlier photo to see the difference, but you are right, it is perfect with the dip of tea! I love the heart and leaf motif – really, the whole thing is so very charming!

    It really is sweet! I always love the colors you put together – so bright and cheery! Your quilting is so nice! What kind of hoop do you use on a small quilt like this? Do you have an extension piece of fabric to pin to the quilt?

    I would leave a longer comment, but I’m going outside to pitch a tent in the snow next to the mailbox and wait for the postman to arrive.
