Doll Quilts

I took a week break from my blue scrap quilt to complete a set of four doll quilts. These will be a gift for a long distance friend's daughter. A simple patchwork design makes these vibrant and fun, and were a quick project. Pillows and cases were sewn to match.

These were specifically made for an American Girl doll bunk bed with a trundle. For those who know what an American Girl doll is will also tell you how expensive the clothes and accessories are for this classic toy. Fortunately, there are plenty of crafty folks who make accessories and trinkets for this 18" doll and sell online (usually on Etsy).

Below are the four quilts made in the past week:

I used fat quarters mostly to save time at the cutting counter. Quilt batting was used to stuff the pillows, and I made a separate case that comes off the pillow. A simple 'X' machine stitch quilt pattern was used for the blanket itself.

Originally, I made this item for my own child's American Girl doll using scraps.
