Doll quilts from the past stir our hearts and engage our emotions with their simple blocks and imperfect stitches. It's fun to imagine what kinds of quilts children may have made and played with long ago and making little scrappy quilts certainly brings the past alive, doesn't it?
Here's one of my recent finds - a little Bow Tie quilt. I've always always wanted to make one and just haven't gotten around to it. Then BOOM! I found one already made. What luck!
Love those checks!
That's a great little quilt. you can still make one, you know :)

ReplyDeleteDarling little quilt. Yes, you are the lucky one! Of course, it means you missed the fun of making one, but I'm sure you're okay with that!
