I have shown you two of my grandmother’s quilts that I cherish. Today I am going to show you my third quilt.

My grandmother called this a Dutch Doll quilt. I think a more popular name is Sunbonnet Sue. My grandmother’s quilt is a rather simple version of this design. I have seen several elaborate variations.

My technical support has helped me to come up with a miniature version of my grandmother’s Dutch Doll quilt.  We made six quilt blocks of the tiny Dutch Doll and printed them on a sheet of Dritz’s Printed Treasures printable fabric. I substituted the Dutch Doll blocks for the nine-patch blocks in my  quilt instructions for my doll bed pattern.

The quilt used five of my six Dutch Doll blocks. I appliqued the sixth doll on a decorative pillow.

Here are the two quilts for a size comparison.
