Lucky Little Girlie and her Dolly Quilts
I hope everyone is keeping cool and I sure am very thankful for a/c not sure I'd be able to make it otherwise. Anyway I wanted to share with you all my latest finished project, I made a 44"x56" quilt for a special little girls first brithday and with my left overs I though why not make Ella her dolly a quilt to match. I was not able to make the backs and bindings match ran out of fabrics but I think she's just going to love them anyway, I really like my labels too bad I forgot the date. I hope they inspire you to use your scraps to make a special little one a gift she'll cheerish and love.

Thanks everyone I am glad I shared these as I know feel great about giving them away and it is wonderful to read your stories as well. I think that this will be my new trend to make matching quilts when I make girl ones. Now to come up with something just as special for little boys.

Oh, yes, great idea to use your scraps for her doll. I would have LOVED that when I was a kid. I made a Daisey Kingdom dress for my GD Ahsley and her doll that matched. She thought it was pretty cool.

Perfect idea. Cute, cute quilts! I sound like a broken record after reading the other comments, but I agree that she will love having a matching quilt for her dolly.

I made a doll quilt for a cousin's granddaughter and her name was Ella also. Now I'm thinking I should make a few more doll quilts to give away.

Adorable! I've been thinking I need to get a special doll that "lives" at Grandma's house, and make her a special quilt, too. You've inspired me to get going on it!

How cute! She will love them! I have a picture of a doll quilt buried somewhere in the pictures on my page (somewhere around page 6 I think). My brother made the cradle for my dolls in high school shop class (he is 13 years older than me). My daughter played with it and then it went to granddaughter Abby. We had it stripped to get rid of lead paint and we repainted it -- funny no one knew to worry about that years ago. I made a new mattress and quilt and we still had my daughter's doll so there are lots of sentimental memories in that. Hubby also made her a set of bunk beds for her "American Girl type dolls" and they got quilts too - pic on page 2. Alll were well received as I'm sure yours will be. Love your labels!!!!
