Kim's Doll Quilt

This quilt design came attached to the Village Squares quilt pattern – a way to use all the tiny bits of leftover fabric. It’s meant to be 7x9” finished, too small even for a Barbie doll bed. Heather was interested in Barbies for about six months altogether; long enough for me to buy her two Disney-themed dolls, Pocahontas and Esmeralda. At the time they were the only two dolls I could find who didn’t dress like streetwalkers. They even had a house: a two-story, four room plywood affair with carpet, wallpaper and plenty of furniture. I played with it more than Heather ever did. Today our dolls are much more substantial, but still Disney-themed: Dumbo, Winnie the Pooh, Tigger, Eeyore, and Piglet. I doubled the size of this quilt for them, in case they ever get bored with the one they’re currently using.
