I think it would look wonderful to add doilies to a quilt. The first quilt I ever made(and gave to a friend), I added crochetet butterflies to it in two of the corners. They were made like doilies(same thickness yard). It was so neat. I've always thought about doing it again, but never had a quilt that it would look just right on. I have my grandmothers pineapple stitched table cloth. It's about 2.5 feet across and I never knew what to ready do with it. Maybe that would be a great center for a quilt.
