The adapted and re-worked design is based ona much larger, antique quilt in the collection of Patricia Cummings. This quilt, "Adorable Puppies," is a miniature version of a vintage quilt top/coverlet in my collection. I can't tell you how much fun it was to go through my scrap bag and choose small scale floral prints for the puppies. The original textile also features bright pink sashings, so I kept that feature in place. I adapted this quilt for use on a specific doll bed by decreasing the size of the top border. I discovered a delightful "dog bones" fabric at a quilt shop on the very day that I wanted to choose just the "right" border print. The quilt shown measures 22 3/4" x 23 1/8".
A pattern for this quilt is now available, postpaid, U.S. only, at $8.75. To reserve one, contact pat@quiltersmuse.com No wholesale. Other Files About Miniatures: Crazy Quilts in Miniature: Ideas and Techniques
