I wanted to post some pictures of doll quilts like I collect here today... I love the older quilts that were made for little girls and their dollies and thought you might enjoy seeing some of them and a couple made by a couple of older ladies in my doll club.

Ann passed away Saturday night, age 94... She lives on in our hearts and in the quilts she made for us...
