Flower Themed Doll Quilts

Today’s doll quilts all have a floral theme going for them. Flowers show up in a lot of my quilts. I grew up spending a lot of time with my grandparents. My grandpa had a large flower garden surrounded by a white picket fence. All the beds were raised and there was a nice walkway through all the different groupings. A beautiful sight!


A simple cockscomb done up in bright colors. Not my normal color choices but they were fun to work with. This one is heavily hand quilted using the echo pattern.


I love this simple Whigs Rose quilt. It is all done in wool except for the backing and binding. A fun way to use a traditional quilt pattern.


My flower vase I designed myself in a Gwen Marston class a few years back. This one has also been hand quilted using the echo pattern.

In joy or sadness, flowers are our constant friends.

Doll Quilts made for Friends

The three doll quilts I am showing today were all made for friends.


Allelujah was made for my sweet friend Lela when she opened her bed and breakfast. I thought she might need a start on her Christmas decorations. It is done in both cotton and wool.

This little Log Cabin quilt was made for fellow blogger Lucy. I was lucky to be able to meet her during one of her trips to the states. She had posted how she would like to have a wall of little quilts so I made her this one to get her a start on that wall.

My one and only “art” quilt was made for my good friend Linda upon her celebrating her 50th Birthday. We share a love of primitive/folkart quilts so I thought it would be fun to make her something totally out of our safe zone.

Doll Quilt Show and Tell

I love little doll quilts. I have made quite a few just within the past couple of years. My reason for loving these little cuties are that I can easily hand quilt them. This lets me enjoy the process of creating a small quilt, the quilting part and the finishing of a project. I know I have shown most of these over the past couple of years but I thought over the next couple of weeks I will have a show and tell of some of these little quilts. It might get you excited to make a couple yourselves. They are wonderful little projects to take along during the summer sports season, camping, etc.

Always Kiss Me Goodnight was a lesson to me in making scallop borders and also using my computer for the wording.



I saw this free lesson for the Disappearing 9 patch on a blog so I just had to give it a try.



I love Jo Morton’s little quilts and this was a pattern that was included with one of the Jo Morton clubs I participated in online.
