Little antique doll quilt!
Today’s post is just a quickie to share my new little treasure. I couldn’t resist buying this little 20″x21″ cutie. It appears to be hand pieced and is machine quilted with no batting. I don’t think it was cut down because the binding is the same fabric as used in the top. I think it could use a bath so if anyone has expert advice on bathing old fibers please leave me a comment. Below is a photo of the great shirting stripe on the back. Such soft and lovely old colors. I have a special weakness for LeMoyne stars because of a recent event I attended. I’ll be ready to post on that one this weekend. I hope spring is springing where you are!
I love the fact you had to find the right size bowl for the handpieced star blocks – LOL
Love how your little quilt turned out!

A sweet little quilt!
Such a treasure to have, it's wonderful. I'm working on a little LeMoyne star quilt right now.
It's beautiful.
That's a wonderful quilt!! Excellent find! I'm not sure about the washing of it – perhaps there are suggestions on the internet!
What a sweet little quilt! Can't you just picture it as a summer quilt for a special doll, napping on the screened porch.
What a wonderful find. I absolutely adore it! LeMoyne stars are also my favourite star. I think I may have to make a little quilt just like it!
What a sweetie; lucky you!
I love it!!! Where did you find that? Doll quilts are not easy to come by these days. It's so adorable!!
Oh, it's just gorgeous..what a treasure..
