There must be a name for this pattern, but I’m too lazy to look it up. I wanted to design something that would take advantage of the tiny, rectangular Lord Baltimore pieces. This is a present for the youngest daughter of my friend Ann at Nifty Needle. Ann made a darling doll-sized pillow and pillowslip with a tatted and embroidered edge — so I felt that the doll needed an old fashioned quilt to go with her cute pillow.
At 18″ x 24″, it’s slightly larger than most of my doll quilts because it’s for an American Girl doll and they’re pretty big. The quilt will not have a border, so now I just have to figure out how I’m going to do the quilting.
OH I just love it!
the yellow is just making me so happy. Love the way the 30’s look like this
great block
great little quilt, just so springy!!!!
My girls love and collected the American Girls Doll too.
What a sweet little quilt! I love the yellow with your little scraps. The perfect project for those special little pieces. 🙂
“Lazy” is not the word I’d use for you at all. That yellow is just so darn cheerful.
That is soooo sweet – so many little pieces! It looks just like springtime.
I think it is called Railroad Crossing. Yours is just so sweet.
Gosh, that yellow really sets off the prints! She is going to love, love, love this quilt! What a lucky girl!
LOVE this one Martha! The yellow is just so cheery. It sets off the vintage fabric beautifully.
Hi Martha!

I cannot BELIEVE what you have been up to!!! This quilt is SO sweet – I love it and I know Baby Doll will also! Everything about it is happy and joyful. It is so nice of you to make this special, little quilt for Baby Doll.
