Appliqued Scottie Doll Quilt Top

Posted on April 18, 2012June 1, 2013 by Martha

This is Phase 2 of the doll quilt kit samples — one down, and two more to go.

Years ago on ebay I saw a vintage scottie quilt with a similar diagonal set with the striped setting triangles, and I always wanted to try it.  I think it turned out pretty cute.

A couple of people asked me about the glue technique and I wanted to answer their questions.  The glue I use is Aleene’s Fabric Fusion which I thinly paint on top and just inside of the cutting line (1/8″ or less).  The glue is to prevent the fabric from raveling and to avoid having to turn under the edges of the piece; not to adhere the scottie to the background fabric.  Once the glue is dry, the piece is cut and appliqued in the usual fashion using a blanket stitch (or buttonhole if you prefer).  These stitches work best because the needle does not have to pierce the glued edge of the piece.

The top finishes at 18″ x 23″

    I love the scottie dogs! Thank you Martha for your kind comments on my blog. I’m still working on the doll quilt kit I bought from you to celebrate my birthday. It is coming along great!
