. . . after all, it's been a favorite of mine for a very long time and is featured in Childhood Treasures by Merikay Waldvogel. What appealed to me most was the simplicity of the 4-patches set with gingham, the large-scale floral on three sides only and the woven tape binding.
I had just enough Oakland Museum fabric (P&B Textiles 1998) for the border and several pinks to complete the four-patches. (I actually made this quilt once before which you can see here on Barb V's Hello Dolly! post.)
I hand-quilted cross-hatch in the center . . .
. . . and this design in the border.
You can see it better from the back.
When it came time to do the binding I thought this striped fabric looked a lot like woven Trenton tape so fussy cut it on the straight.
It looked okay after a little pressing :)
Ta-da!
On another note . . .
I finished painting the first section of the upstairs hallway and hung a few quilts to make it a bit more presentable when guests arrived last week :)

Lots of cute little quilts, and I love how you hung them in the hall! Thanks for the link to the precious doll tea party. I had a good morning giggle. ---"Love"
ReplyDeleteThanks! Ann Hermes' method of hanging little quilts is so easy! Glad you enjoyed Barb's Hello Dolly post. Too funny!
DeleteFabulous! I have admired that quilt for years and yours is a wonderful interpretation. The binding is perfect. I thought at first that it was tape! I have linked you to my post. I hope to get the linky party thing figured out before next month!! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteSo sweet! The floral border really works well too. Love Childhood Treasures - a favorite!
ReplyDeleteI knew that quilt right away! I have it on my other doll bed right now.
ReplyDeleteYour new one looks wonderful too. I met Marikay at the seminar last year. I love her book.
Your hall looks really great and so does your display and little quilt hanging.
Excellent recreation! Nice job on the binding stripe.
ReplyDeleteI like the way you have your quilts hanging. :)
Oh I just adore your little quilt! The hand quilting is so impressive too. Love the rich colors in this one.:)
