Flannel Doll Quilt

 I wanted to make a doll quilt for a gift for a special little girl that is upcoming. 

 I thought I might use that elephant quilt I did recently but it really is too big for a doll quilt. 

 So back to the drawing board. 

 I seem to make a lot of crib sheets and burp cloths out of flannel. 

 I have been cutting the leftovers from all my flannel projects into usable squares. 

 I cut 6", 5", 3" and 2.5" squares.  

For this doll quilt I decided to pull from this stash. 

 I mostly have 5" squares but thought those might be too big for what I wanted to do. 

 I started off with the 2.5" squares I had 

then cut from the larger squares I had to make up the difference. 

 It was not quite big enough for me so I added a flannel border (also from scraps). 

 I pick up remnant pieces of minky/fleece when I find them 

so had a nice yellow piece to use for the back. 

 I put batting scraps together for the inside too.

  Then I quilted it in the ditch. 

 I had some leftover satin binding so used that up for the binding. 

 WIN-WIN for this cutie!

I think it turned out perfectly for a little doll quilt! 

 Now I want to use some of those 5" squares to make a few baby quilts.  

I have so many other things already begun so I am going to try to refrain.  

Do you find it hard not to get sidetracked when you are working on something too? 

 It's.  So.  Hard!
