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.
