I didn't have a pattern, theres some tutes on the internet and someone out there sells a pattern, but I just kind of designed it and did it myself. Basically just measure the top and sides, cut your sides a little bigger than the size you need, decide what you want to use as a decoration, sew those on, then pin it together around your table, sew up the sides, and then pin a top and sew it on too. I learned the more you applique on the more the stitches pull on the felt and shrink it some. I made some of the flowers and stuff and carefully hand appliqued them on. I also learned that its almost impossible to sew felt thats been painted on. I painted on the chimney bricks and had a terrible time sewing the chimney and fireplace on...broke 2 needles and it really distorted.

But the kids really seemed to like it so its all worth it.

I would have to charge 5 million dollars per for them to make it worth all the hassle!

Cute quilt, though the playhouse is beyond cute ... phenomenal!

The problems you had with the felt, would you use regular cotton materials another time?
And then quilt it for substance?

Your details are amazing!

.... better start on a regular table size model now, to be ready for when they want to upgrade!
