I just read this and saw the words 'antique doll bed' and then I look at my mom's doll bed sitting right in front of me. My mom will be 86 this year and the bed was made for her by her grandpa when she was 3. It used to have wheels she said that her brothers broke off and she thinks it may have been painted once. I know I had it and then my daughters and now my granddaughter plays with it. Any suggestions for a quilt or colors? Any sqaure designs that might look nice?
Wow what a treasure! Ideas for quilts:
1. Crazy, Victorian with lots of handstitching.
2. Simple 9 patch out of shirtings.
3. A broderie perse style.
4. A scrappy using 30's prints--high lighting pinks, yellows, a touch of blue, green, and lavender off set with light colored muslin.--small Dresden plate maybe
5. An Amish style bars quilt using red and blue with the black.
Okay when are you going to start?
Actually the first one that came to mind was one like this.
