{Doll Bed Rag Quilt}

Hello, hello! It seems like it's been too long. We've been having fun on our Spring Break so posts have gone by the wayside this past week. Back at it though, and I wanted to share a project I completed a while ago.
I made this for my daughter's American Girl bed, but you could adapt it to any doll, stuffed animal, or even a real baby. :)  
Isn't it adorable?!!

Very easy to make, especially if you have a die-cut machine. I've not yet been blessed with a Silhouette, so I use my trusty Cuttlebug and Sizzix dies for soooooo many things.
 I purchased the poodle and solid pink fabric, but the pink pattern fabric on the front and back are actually $1 store receiving blankets that I cut up. My daughter loves dogs, poodles, and pink, so I splurged on the poodle fabric...although very little is required.

The reason this is so easy is because all of the squares are cut for me with the Stampin' Up Sizzix Scallop Square die. I don't have a Big Shot, but the Cuttlebug is universal so it's no problem using whatever die you want with it. 
I actually bought this SU Scallop Square die last year with the full intention of using it for sewing projects. I have used it like crazy since then! I think it was around $20...maybe a little less.

So I basically just cut all the squares, arranged them the way I wanted, and sewed them together...easy-peasy! I used fabric scraps to make the pillows to match. Again, my daughter is blessed to have a grandpa who is talented at woodworking, so she has custom-made AG doll furniture that without him she would never have. I then get the privilege and fun of making the 'fabric' stuff to go with all of it!

I'm happy to post a tutorial if there's interest. Once you start making these, you can't stop. ;)
I have several other projects that I've made with my handy-dandy scallop square die, and I'm anxious to share them all with you!
Feel free to email me with any questions and I'd love to know what you think of this project!

Take care,


I'm linking up to these fun parties:

  6. Lipsticks are the main thing for women, all things being equal.
    Custom Lipstick Boxes accept that the lipstick package should be as satisfying as the actual product. So, imaginatively plan a Custom Lipstick Boxes that is completed as a symbol for your image or item.

  8. Hair extension is a critical part of human safety. The length of hair from short to medium varies according to medium to long. Women with short hair or sore hair need their hair to look confusing to feel better. That's the explanation Hair Extension Boxes is particularly popular these days. In addition, the sellers of hair extensions should choose to sell their stuff in such a bundle that a larger piece of the customers skewed towards them.

  9. The custom 5ml bottle boxes come with e-juice, CBD hemp oil, and other beauty products inside them. As a result, they required additional care and security for these liquids. We provide new avenues for businesses with our wide variety of dropper bottles, perfume atomizers, or tincture bottles. That is why we are most noteworthy for a cohort of companies in the packaging world.

  10. Nice Post! Excellent article... I spent a lot of time looking for that because there are so many posts available online. I've been looking at a lot of Manali Tour Packages on different travel websites, so I am excited to go there. Similar posts about Manali were shared with me previously; however, this one sticks out from the others. I think it will be quite helpful for me as I am planning for the Manali trip with my better half. Wish me luck with my upcoming romantic trip to Manali!
