18 inch Doll Quilt GloryQuilts Custom Boutique Handmade

Description

I have been working on a collection of quilts suitable for the American Girl or Beautiful Girlhood dolls. While I would not claim that they are absolutely historically accurate, these true-to-scale quilts are made with muslin and small-scale prints appropriate to an earlier era.

Each little square is 1". The quilts are approximately 20" x 26", with some variations. The bed is not for sale. The mattress shown in the pictures is 13" x 21".

I carefully selected and placed each fabric to create an attractive scrap pattern. Most of the doll quilts are variations of the traditional 9 Patch quilt block. After piecing, I machine quilted them with cotton battings - some in a diagonal grid and some in a straight grid. The separate muslin binding is machine stitched. After the quilts were done, I washed them in hot water and dried them, causing the batting to shrink up, which creates a slightly puckered, vintage appearance, very soft, with a nice drape to it.

The red quilts have a white background, and the multi-color quilts have an off-white, muslin backgrounds. The backgrounds are also scrapped. They are ready to ship, but I can also make you a quilt in your own color preference.

Notice that there are several different quilts in these pictures, and other listings show different ones. Let me know which one you would like. While they are all similar, there are slight variations in the quilting patterns and size of the finished quilts.

The quilts are $35 each or 2/$60. Shipping is $5, no matter how many you buy.

Although they would be nice collectors' display items, I hope they will become beloved and well-used by little girls. Because I value child safety, all of the fabrics are prewashed to complete shrinkage and rid them of excess dye and chemicals. You can machine-wash and dry this quilt.

Glory Quilts is dedicated to providing delightful classes and excellent quilts. I have been teaching workshops across the United States for fifteen years, and I sell some class samples as well as some unique and special order quilts and garments.

The discerning buyer will understand the difference between an heirloom-quality item and those mass-produced imports sold as "hand crafted" by the thousand. Each of my items, whether a garment, accessory or quilt, is very personal. The fabrics are carefully selected and prewashed to rid them of the chemicals used in manufacturing and to complete the shrinkage.

I do all of my own sewing in my home. No one here smokes, and the animals all live outdoors.

I ship by priority mail within a few days of your confirmed payment. I accept payment by PayPal or money order. Because each of these boutique style items is unique and cannot possibly be recreated, I recommend that the client purchase USPS shipping insurance.

Shipping within the United States is $5 and includes delivery confirmation. I expect payment within 7 days of the sale. If you buy more than one item at a time from me, I can usually combine things to save you money on the shipping. Let me know!
