Default Made a dollhouse

I found this great panel, it looks like a 1930's house. I used extra loft batting and outlined everything, so things pouf up. I used bubblegum pink fabric on the back and a variegated thread, so the outlining shows up. My granddaughter claimed it as soon as she saw it, so I know it's going to a good home. I had trouble letting this one go, as I really liked it and would have liked more time to wean myself.

I used a MaryEngelbreit fabric in the border. The house has four floors. The house number is 1930.

Absolutely adorable. I understand why you wanted to keep it a while longer.

Really darling little quilt. I think we all remember the doll houses we played with as children.
