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.

Great pieces. Small projects are a super way to step out of our "box" and try something new. It might just be different colors that what our comfort zone is, your's are fabulous.
