Hello dolly! I made these doll quilts to donate to my quilt group who teams with the woodworkers who make doll beds. Each Christmas they give a simple doll, a wooden doll bed and a handmade doll quilt to young girls (and a wooden toy of some kind to the boys).
I wanted to use up the mountains of scraps I had, so I just made free form or crumb quilts, crazy quilt style and used up UFO blocks too by adding a few strips to them. I made 33 quilts. But then before I went to the quilt group to deliver these, I had time to make another 14 more, so ended up giving them 47 doll quilts in all. Also, I gave a handmade doll I had and a stuffed sheep in case they could give that to one of the children.

These were quilt blocks to begin with and I added strips to make them larger. |

As usual, barely made a dent in my scraps! But these all went to a worthy cause, so that should make some kids happy.
