I made a doily quilt!

This was a fun project I recently finished ... It's a baby quilt for a friend's new baby girl.

T-shirts on the front ... Doilies on the back.

Lots of T-Shirt squares for a simple patchwork quilt top ...

 

And those doilies I mentioned a couple weeks ago ...

 

 ... added to a gorgeous peach-colored quilt back.

Doily quilt?

For several months, I've been intrigued by the idea of putting doilies on quilts.

So I've been "rescuing" crocheted doilies from thrift stores, and pondering how to make a doily quilt.

Recently, I happened upon some crochet thread, & decided to crochet a few tiny doilies, so I'd have more doilies to try on quilts.



 

A few free patterns later, and I've got some tiny doilies!



 

 

Check back in a week or two, to see what I've been doing with these!

  

  

 

 

Update: See this blog post for a finished view of my first doily quilt!
