For the past few months I have been sewing some things for my daughter, who will be soon having a baby girl. We went shopping at some local quilt stores and she picked out these pretty purple fabrics for me to make her a quilt. They are a collection called Wild Blush from Wilmington Prints.
One of my favorite things to match the quilts is this little "Dolly." I got the pattern from Joann's. It's a Simplicity pattern, #1900. The pattern had embroidered eyes, but I didn't like them so I added some felt circles and I think she has a cuter face.
Here's a photo of Dolly posing on one of the quilts that I made. I sewed some 3" strips together and cut the rows into rectangles.
I added the baby's name on the bottom so that she can hang the quilt over the side of the crib to decorate the baby's room. I found the letters online and sewed them down with a zig-zag stitch. I did an all-over free motion stitch on the quilt.
You see the rows close up here. I love the fabrics, especially the ones with paisley patterns. The collection had a lot of nice coordinating fabrics in the line.
I love how Dolly matches the quilt. What do you think so far? (Hint: there's more to come)
