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″
What an adorable quilt. I love it!
That is so adorable! I love the setting! And thanks for the tips, I’m going to get some of that glue tomorrow!
Now that my hand is healed, I was thinking about applique and I love this technique! This piece is so cute, the setting is just awesome!!!

Really love this quilt idea. I love the vintage feel with the plain blue too. Super super
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!

So cute! How big are the actual finished scotties?
