Welcome to another Vintage Thingy Thursday post. Please visit Colorado Lady and see who else has posted this week.Today I have yet another sweet doll quilt, handsomely modeled by my son's favorite teddy bear, called Caramel (pronounced Carmel). This one was purchased from ebay some time ago. I have three now - I think this officially makes me a collector - right?
The fabric scraps are hand-sewn with an applique stitch onto a foundation fabric, which is also the back of the quilt. Then the raw edges of the back were folded to the front and sewn down. Below is my son's pose of Caramel and buddy with the back of the quilt.
One or two fabrics are from early in the twentieth century, most appear to be from the forties. Several appear to be more from the 1950's. The stitching is pretty good and actually the little quilt is in remarkable shape - no holes, undone stitches, stains, etc.viridian

I would love to have a small quilt like that. It is so interesting to see all the old fabrics.
Lovely quilt. Always fun to look at each fabric in hopes of seeing one you know from the past. Thanks for sharing.
What neat doll quilts. These are very vintage and ones you should keep even after no one plays with dolls or bears. I had a friend that made little quilts for children that were ill. Yours are very pretty.
I love this little quilt! It looks so loved!

That's a really sweet little quilt, and the fabrics are so great! I had to sit there for a minute and look at them all. I would love to have a yard of each one! They just don't make fabric as cute as this anymore!
Happy VTT!
