Ideas needed!
My DH is fixing up a really old rocking chair of his grandmothers, for his brother, which I'm sure is over 100 years old. My job is to make a pillow for the seat and I can't imagine what would be an appropriate pattern/fabric to use for this. My first thought would be to use a grandmothers flower garden pattern with reproduction or civil war type designs/colors, but don't have a clue as to if that would be appropriate. It's not a really big deal that I get it really correct, but it would be nice to have it look remotely authentic. I've also been instructed that a label describing whose chair it was and approximate age of the chair. Any ideas on any/all of this would be greatly appreciated!!
