Today I visited my younger sister, Mary, and I borrowed a couple of quilts I made for her so I could take some photos. This doll quilt was made in 2003, only a few of years into my obsession with vintage fabrics. It’s not a difficult pattern — just a simple nine patch. My favorite part is the Baptist fan quilting. I had always wanted to use this fan pattern, but I was a little uncomfortable using a quilting pattern that had no relationship to the piecing. Of course, it’s a wonderful pattern that works with just about every quilt pattern, and I realize that now.

Adorable, love the purple.
It is so sweet!! Tiny too!!
So cute! Those squares look smaller than 1″? Tiny! Your quilting is perfect with the little blocks.
What a darling little quilt! Love it!
It is always such a fun to discover a few well known fabrics that I have in my own stash of reproductions.
Looking forward to seeing the other quilts of your sister!
That’s darling! I love the Baptist fan quilting….I’ve never tried it but I’ve wanted to. I just don’t trust myself to draw it accurately, lol!
Lovely little quilt -quite different from your usual bright colour choices! Very pretty and feminine though. The patches for the 9 patch blocks must be tiny”……………. 11/2″?
What a darling quilt! I love the square in a square effect with the solid centers!
