Emily’s Heart Doll Quilt Top

Posted on May 25, 2012May 26, 2012 by Martha

This is a miniature version of Emily’s Heart Quilt which I made for her as a bride quilt.  For the blocks in this small quilt, I used similar dress prints from the 1930s – 1950s, and the smaller heart block from the border of Emily’s original quilt.  I would have liked to add the heart border to this doll quilt as well, but I just couldn’t work it out.

To sort of make up for the missing heart border, I want to do some fairly elaborate quilting.  The design will mostly be copied from the original heart quilt — a diagonal grid in the hearts and a flower design in the bottom triangles; the exact same pattern in the sashing; and a similar heart and flower design in the outside border which I made wider for that purpose.

The heart blocks finish at 3 1/4″, and it’s pretty big for a doll quilt at 20″ x 25″.  I am contemplating adding scrappy prairie points to the edges, but I’ll decide that later.

    That is too sweet Martha, I think a prairie point border would be wonderful. I can’t wait to see this one quilted!

    Martha, these little hearts made up of so many cute prints couldn’t be any more sweeter! The border you have in mind will compliment these heart shapes beautifully!
    Hope you are enjoying a lovely weekend 🙂

    I have always loved your daughter’s quilt, Martha and long to make one – one day! The doll quilt is very sweet and I think prairie points would be just the ticket.

    Funny how like minded we are. I’ve been planning on making hearts like these with PamKittyMorning’s new fabric when it comes out later this year. These are sew cute. I’ve got this similarly drawn in my design book. I love fabric hearts.
