    I love doll houses. I haven't made one but I plan to one day. I better get to it. My eyes are not what they used to be. Your quilt is lovely.

    Do a search on our site for doll quilts. Any of these beaties can be scaled down further to be used in doll houses. There is also a gallery on Flicker.

    That is amazing, it is beautiful. I am not sure I could sew something that small :shock:

    Thank you everyone. I didn't find it hard to sew, I have always liked tiny things, but I found the idea of doing half hex's around the edge difficult to contemplate, so I just ended up appliqueing it to a plain background. I was also going to put flannel in for batting, but it wouldn't 'drape' at all, so it just had a backing, so I guess that technically it isn't a quilt. BTW, the hex's had quarter inch sides, so are about the size of my little finger nail.

    I've made one, 1/12th scale, for a four poster, hence the cut outs at the bottom. The hex's were English Paper Pieced, and hand stitched, with some fussy cutting.[/quote]

    Your quilt is amazing. I love miniature quilts but don't think I'd have the patience for 'dollhouse miniature'. Nicely done!

    I got a beautiful dollhouse kit at a thrift store that's from the 50's. I haven't got around to putting it together yet, but I got it just for the purpose of making tiny quilts for it! LOL!
