I am a new quilter - and can't even imagine taking on such a project - that said, I have a trunk full of doilies my husbands grandmother crocheted. They are all lovely but what to do with them? How about making a new quilt using something like a square in a square pattern and using the squares of this quilt as the center? Or having a squared up 12 inch section with a nice coordinating fabric as a square next to it? Eventually it would be closer to being straight. Just food for thought.
