It all started when I decided to remake the doll quilt that my Great Grandma made and gave to me as a child. How excited I was when I found my little quilt, while going thru my parents house after their passing away. However, it was in very bad condition. So, I decided to make another one and try to get it as close to the original one as I could. My dear Mama washed everything with bleach, so the original fabrics that my Grandma used no longer looked like they used to and I couldn't remember just how they looked. My Mama left me tons of cotton fabric and while going thru some of it, I found a plastic bag with some pieces of peachy pink fabric that looked like she had saved for a certain project. Well, I thought this would be perfect. I would recreate my doll quilt that my Great Grandma made with the fabric from my Mama's stash. So that is what I did. Grandma only tied my little quilt, but I decided to do a little machine quilting on mine. I have my first baby doll,which I think is the doll that the little quilt was originally made for, and now she has a little doll quilt again. It was so much fun making it. While stitching away, so many memories came flooding into my mind. Such a lovely stroll down memory lane.
Here is my original little doll quilt that my Great Grandma made. Poor thing!
Here is my remake.
Do you have a special little doll quilt that someone special made for you, that maybe is not in the best condition? Why not remake it, you will be glad you did.
Blessings to All
