The inspiration for this little doll quilt was found in the book, Small Endearments, by Sandi Fox. I drafted the pattern on a large sheet of grid paper, which I used to trace my templates, and which also works as a guide when adding new rows. I’ve always wanted to make a pieced medallion quilt, and I’m really enjoying this process. My quilt design will be a little different (I’m changing the four-patches into rectangular pieces so the prints display better). Still, I hope to maintain the look of the original quilt, and it’s been fun trying to find similar scraps from my collection of antique tops and blocks. There are six more rows to add, plus the corner stars. My quilt will be 18″ square (the star is 3″), while the original is about 23″.
Here is the original quilt.
That is going to be absolutely adorable – it already is! I love little quilts and this one is going to be a stunner!
Once again Martha it’s gorgeous. And so small! Love it.
what a wonderful project!

Tiny, but beautiful! I love the green fabric with the pink in it–both are my favorite colors.
Just beautiful!
Thanks for reminding me that small is beautiful! I love your adaptations! Marie Tymrak
love your small quilt……beautiful work!
It’s beautiful!
The sort of mint green looking fabric reminds me of a handkerchief fabric. I have that book and enjoy looking through it now and then.
Wow! Another stunning little quilt. A lot of your blog/coloring book pages make so much more sense now that I’ve seen your sewing studio and several of your quilts. When the blog posts come one at a time, I have a harder time linking it all together. I’m even more impressed now!!
