I think this has the potential of being a quilt show winner!
Actually I found some very small gold buttons that have what looks like an anchor on them that I think are going to be beautiful!! When my DH saw them, he said, "What did you buy those for?" I just said, You'll see. Then when I laid my quilt out in the floor, He said," Oh!! I see now! So, I think they will work just fine. Now I just need to find some small sargeants stripes to go on the uniform sleeves. I may have to drag out the embrodiery!!
I'd check the doll making costume sites for these unless you have a doll shop near by. Embroidery would also work well if your good at minature detail. I think my ole' fingers would bock.LOL
