My sister has little kids. I take full advantage of this and love to make things that my kids are too “big” for. She was smart to have kids 2nd, if only for this reason *wink*.
My sister has wanted to name a baby Ruby since she was in high school. Her first two kids were boys, then her 3rd came along after a long and difficult pregnancy, a girl. Ruby was finally here.
Ruby has lived up to her name, she’s an adorable little red haired girl.
For Christmas this year I made her a little doll and matching quilt. I got the idea for the quilt from the Pretty in Patchwork, Doll Quilts Book. and the doll is from the Wee Wonderfuls Book
I raided my stash and pulled out every fabric I had with a red haired girl on it.
Most ended up being Heather Ross prints.
I made my first dresden block (which came out much bigger than I thought it would, I need to read up a bit more on dresdens).
I also made dolls for her boys- more on that next time 🙂

What an adorable little quilt and an adorable little girl!
That has to be the most precious gift for a little girl I have ever seen! Beautifully done for such a beautiful little girl. 🙂
I have a weakness for redheads. My baby (now 23) had hair of a very similar color when she was younger. It’s darker now, but still red.
That’s a perfect gift. I love that you used fabric with redheaded girls. The Dresden Plate block was a great choice.
Wow,your a the best aunt ever! That is so sweet. Ruby is adorable too!
Precious!
Oh be still my heart…such cuteness!!! What a thoughtful and joyous gift. You must print out your post so it stays as a memory with the quilt. Love this!!!
What a cute little redhead Ruby is! Your dresden mini quilt is so beautiully done!
Who knew there were so many red haired girl prints? I may need to start collecting them. There are three red heads in my house, all girls, that is if I can still call myself a “girl” in my 30’s. Ha!
So sweet. I love that you found so many red haired girls!
I love the little quilt. My wife is pregnant with a little girl and I have made a couple baby blankets now which is why I got into quilting. Making a doll one would be fun.
