Chevron Doll Quilt Tutorial

 

Jedi Craft Girl: Chevron Doll Quilt Tutorial : Heidi is sharing this cute little doll quilt but I would use it as a trivet or table topper/coaster.

 

Rag rugs are simple to make, very sturdy, and the scrappy mix of colors makes them beautiful. If you don't have many fabric scraps on hand, look in your local thrift store for some old sheets, which yield lots of rug material. This design, which measures 19 inches by 29 inches, is crocheted with several fabrics to create vertical stripes....simple tutorial over at eHow.
