I posted a thread a few days ago, about purchasing treadle legs and making them into a table or something.
I recieved alot of encouragement, and have since done a little googling and found some beautiful inspirations!
What I am thinking about is to make a table top, but instead of a flat top, make a display case (for what else? - quilts!, of course).
My question: how big would you make this display case? I was thinking a wooden box, with glass lid (or maybe a drawer type thing, not sure yet). Through the glass would be a folded quilt to display. The quilt could be changed out seasonally or as the mood struck.
I mainly make lap quilts or bed scarves, but may want to handle up to twin size in the display case.
So, I would have the top about the size of the legs (haven't measured, assume that is somewhere around 24X18??). Then how deep do you think the box should be?
I also thought of putting a cabinet w/shelves bewteen the legs, with a glass front for more display/storage. What do you think?
