DOLL QUILT

In my March 31 post I showed this doll bed that a friend gave to me (actually, she forced me to take it). Have you seen the foam mattress pads that have the bumps all over them?  I think it is supposed to make an uncomfortable bed comfortable.  We had an old one - it came with our first camper and we never used it.  Well, that's what I used to make the doll bed mattress.  I just cut it to size and then cut off the bumps the best that I could.  The smooth side will be up, but the uneven underside doesn't look or feel bad once the mattress cover is on.  I still haven't covered the mattress or made the sheet for it, so I thought I would show you what it looks like.


Today, I finished the quilt top that I will be using for the doll bed, so I put it on the doll bed to show you what it will look like.  I guess I forgot to take a picture of the whole quilt top - you can't see the border at all in these pictures.  I am going to hand quilt it.


Here it is with the doll on top of it.


I think I saw this idea on someone else's blog, but I am going to use this tea towel as the "top" sheet.  I really like the way it looks.


Oh, BTW, I have added a few things to my secret blog.

    That is a very sweet doll quilt, and the tea towel with the pretty edging looks perfect as a doll sheet.

    It's so sweet and I love that itty bitty quilt. Dolly will get a good night's rest in that comfy wee bed.

    The quilt is darling and the ideas about the mattress and top sheet are good ones.

    I've always liked the orange peel quilt and it looks so right with the tea towel edging!

    Secret blog, hmm? Is that a teaser? Looking forward to hearing about it!
