Hi Ruth Camp:
I wish I had a bagfull of old doilies! What a find. In Feb. 2003 I was invited to a quilt group meeting and one of the ladies did a program on making quilt blocks with doilies. I will attache a picture of the one I made. Please understand, I had NEVER made anything but a crazy quilt with square blocks from scrap fabric so when I was told to bring "Valentine" fabric I got a couple pieces and off I went. As you can see, my selection wasn't great as I didn't think the 2 fabrics I took would be in the SAME block but Oh! well. At least you can see what the block looks like. the doilies were rounded or scalloped edged and we folded them in half and cut them then folded each half again and cut to get the four corners of the block. Have fun.
