Doll Leaf Blanket
North American Collection
Bring a touch of nature inside with these whimsical, quilted leaf blankets inspired by deciduous forests of North America, where the lush green leaves of summer change to blazing canopies of red, orange, and yellow in autumn.
A simple, satisfying project, these diminutive leaves are suitable for critters 9-18 inches in size. They make lovely open-ended playthings for little hands.
Leaf blankets are a perfect beginner quilting project that can be made with a regular home sewing machine.
Dreamed up by Lisa's sweet, nature-loving girl, a portion of the sales will go towards reforestation projects and protecting animal habitat. Read more about her project here.

I made this leaf blanket for my nephew. I had so many compliments from guests who said they’d never seen a quilt like it! It was the first quilt I’ve ever made and it came together beautifully!
This pattern is fantastic. Simple directions and an easy sew for beginners. I made the large maple and I'm getting ready to sew the doll size Elm. The maple turned out lovely. I see myself sewing many more in the future.
I've only begun sewing a short while ago but wanted to try my hand at making one of these amazing blankets. So I purchased some fabric and this pattern.
First one I made was the Elm (without stalk).
My fabric choice could have been better (linen, which was great, and teddy fleece, which was quite slippery) but it still turned out pretty well. I used a cheap blanket as filler so it turned out quite tick as well.
Do note that the big ones are really big! I had a pretty tough time maneuvering that lump of fabric.
Still, I can't wait to make more of these. Great patterns and really easy to follow along, even for an inexperienced, self-taught, beginner like myself.
Made the oak leaf for my granddaughter and one for her Dinkum doll - very well received! Easy and quick to make with clear instructions. Been asked to make another!
Absolutely thrilled with how this turned out. Made it for a playmat for my nephew and am tempted to make one for my home.
I made the largest doll-sized elm leaf. Instructions were clear and I appreciated the attention to everything that makes those leaves unique. I will definitely follow up and make some child-sized leaves.
Sky & clouds Mum, leaves can reflect what’s above!!
2nd leaf blanket made for my grandson with fabric picked by his Mum (Taylor)
Used wool/cotton batting because she wanted the softness and made it slightly larger as we discovered my grandson likes to sleep rolled in his 🍃 blanket (picture of his first blanket)
Thanks T&T for your beautiful, creative and wholesome designs
I am still waiting for my pattern to be delivered
