This quilt is a doll quilt which is 40 years old. My friend was in her 80s when she started this doll quilt for my daughter. My friend started this as a hand piecing project but before she was able to finish it, she was having problems with her eyes. So, she gave it to me to finish. I never got around to finishing it when my daughter was playing with dolls, in fact, it was just finished about five years ago. I finished it off with machine piecing and machine quilting. I am not sure where this little quilt is, if I still own it or if I gave it to my daughter. If I still have it, it will be unearthed as I deep clean the house.
This quilt is just plain ugly. This is a stamped, cross stitch , Bucilla kit. I whiled away the hours cross stitching this quilt while my husband was recovering from open heart surgery. I just didn't like the colors chosen for this piece. I machine quilted it and gave it to my daughter who gifted it for a baby gift.
Love the doll quilt - I will have to keep that in mind for whenever we have granddaughters.
