Doll Quilt-Amish Bars
















This little doll quilt was inspired by an Amish Bars quilt from "Amish Doll quilts" by Rachel and Kenneth pellman.  I used Kaffe Fassett shot cottons, blueberry, sprout and terracotta.  I used a quilting pattern design from One Song needle.  Unfortunately, I messed up on the binding, but hopefully the quilting will outshine that little mistake.  I havn't worked too much with solids before, just one other doll quilt, but I definitely like them and will be doing more.  I also used a cotton batting and a tan thread, So Fine.
