Today’s blog post is for those of you who sew for dolls, but you don’t quilt… #DollQuilt #DollCollector

This is a close-up of one of the flowers on Anita's baby Dresden quilt. The center of the flower is pink. The fabric on the flower petal at 2 o'clock is a grey and white check. The fabric at three o'clock is a bright blue-purple-yellow-orange feather patterned fabric; the petal at four o'clock is a pink floral fabric; the fabric at five o'clock is a petal made of a leafy green fabric; the petal at seven o'clock is white with very tiny red polka dots; the fabric at eight o'clock is a vintage red with tiny white flowers and leaves; at ten o'clock we see a petal made of purple mottled fabric; and the eleven o'clock or noonish petal is made of a blue and green floral fabric. The whole flower has been appliqued by hand onto a white square, which is surrounded by a barely-visible blue fabric that has an almost not-noticeable blue floral print that barely shows. — Please visit ChellyWood.com for free printable sewing patterns for making doll clothes to fit dolls of many shapes and all different sizes.

Yes, today’s blog post is for all the followers, friends, and other folks who love to sew for dolls, but perhaps they don’t enjoy quilting. Why? Because I have a quilt for sale in my store today!

The quilt you see below was made by my very talented mother-in-law, Anita, who has made almost all of the tiny quilts you’ve seen in my videos and photographs.

On the left, the text reads as follows: For sale... baby Dresden; hand appliqued; machine quilted; only $35. The text at the bottom redirects us to Chelly Wood dot com. The image at the right is a photo of a beautiful multi-colored baby Dresden mini quilt with four squares on a blue background. Each square has a multicolored appliqued flower inside it. — Please visit ChellyWood.com for free printable sewing patterns for making doll clothes to fit dolls of many shapes and all different sizes.

This style of quilt is called a “baby Dresden,” and she hand-appliqued each flower onto the quilt with painstakingly tiny little stitches. She asked if I could sell her precious little doll-sized quilt in my store, and I happily agreed to do so.

Believe me, if she didn’t do nice work, I would have politely declined, but she is a fabulous quilter! You won’t be disappointed by her handiwork.

The photo shows a miniature quilt in the "Baby Dresden" style, with hand applique and machine quilting. The text reads, "For sale at Chelly Wood dot com. Perfect size for Amerian Girl dolls! Eighteen and one-fourth inches long by fifteen and three-quarters inches long." The image shows a mini quilt with six applique flowers within white squares on a blue pale background. Each flower has a pink center, but the petals are made of a variety of fabrics in a multitude of colors. — Please visit ChellyWood.com for free printable sewing patterns for making doll clothes to fit dolls of many shapes and all different sizes.

As you can see in the image above, this little multi-colored quilt with a blue and white background is about the right size for 18 inch dolls like American Girl, Journey Girls, and other dolls in the 15 inch to 18 inch size range.

The quilt measures 18 and 1/4 inches long by 15 and 3/4 inches wide. Many of the fabrics Anita uses are truly vintage, dating back even as early as the 1930’s and 1940’s (because she has some of her mother’s fabrics in her collection).
