I bought a vintage quilt the last time I was at Canton. The top was in good shape, but the binding, the yarn it was tied with, and the back of the quilt didn't look so good. I bought knowing exactly what I would do with it...make it into doll quilts.
And here is the first one.
I quilted it and tied it with new embroidery floss.
This quilt has one of my most favorite fabrics ever. It is a print of a weird, purple, and little guy with an umbrella. I love him.
It also has a Snow White and the Seven Dwarves print on there that is actually cute.
I wanted to keep it as vintage as possible, so I was determined to use vintage fabric for the back of the quilt as well. And finally, the fabric hoarding I've been doing paid off. I bought a vintage duvet cover about five years ago that was meant to go on the back of this quilt.
It is the softest doll quilt on the planet. It is super, duper soft.
Wow. I love your commitment to making the quilt be the best quilt it could be. It is beautiful. The fabrics you highlighted are just lovely and adorable.

Oh that fabric is just lovely! I can't wait to see what you do with it. I don't have a lick of craftiness in me. I can hem with tape and an iron - that't it. Hey..didya know the CCAA is finally on my month? Yee haw! You still waiting on little sister?
