Doll Quilt Press

Experimental Blocks

I pulled out a pile of experimental quilt blocks (many quilters use the term UFO's as in unfinished objects) while trying to clean up my Stitch Studio. I have a little grand daughter that loves her little dolls and really liked a doll quilt I made for her.

Unfinished Class Sample

 So, I decided to finish off as many as I could and fold them nicely into a little quilt press I made out of an old desk drawer.

Desk Drawer with Pink Legs

I bought the wooden legs at Lowe's and painted them pink. I painted the drawer with pale green satin finish trim paint. TANGENT ALERT! I like to buy clearance paints from Lowe's and keep it around. I only buy colors that I really like. The price is $5 a gallon for premium paint.

After painting the drawer light green, I used permanent marking pens to draw details.

Freehand Drawn Details

I finished 6 little blankets for Isabel's dolls! She loved this! Yay, Nana did good!
