A hand-pieced finish

 I finished up the quilting on my little doll quilt earlier this week.


The backing is a piece of a 30s repro fabric that a friend gave me a few years ago, and I was happy to use it up.  The binding is a blue floral print leftover from one of the pillow covers I finished recently.


Raggedy Andy and his little brother, Raggedy Kevin, are happily sharing the new quilt in their favorite chair!


And now I'm thinking about what hand-piecing project I want to work on next!  Sharing at Kathy's Quilts for Slow Sunday Stitching.

    It's an adorable quilt! I love it with the dolls. I like the dark blue binding on it. It finishes it so nicely! Have a great day Diann!

    Great finish. I think I have some of that backing fabric and binding fabric myself. It looks perfect with the raggedy guys! I don't have a Raggedy Andy, just a couple of Anns

    Such a sweet little doll quilt. I like the way you have added to the four patches, bringing in the extra colours.

    I saw this post yesterday, then got distracted and forgot to read and comment. Cute finish! Your Raggedy Andy is in much better shape than mine (and mine doesn't have a little brother?? - ha!). Cute quilt in all those happy colors!

    Beautiful quilt. Lovely colors!! My Grandmother Ruff made Raggedy Ann and Andy dolls. She made mine with yellow hair. She made quilts and clown dolls too. She was so talented. Your Raggedy Andy and Kevin are super!! Enjoy your day! 🌟🦋
