I have some that have been made from the salvaged parts of old quilts, and they work well with my vintage quilts, and bears.
Breaks my heart to see all that labor of love not treated with the respect it deserved.
Kudos to you for rescuing a part of your heritage.
Oh, I like this idea, too........lace and ribbon. It is important that my restoration standards are high as I plan to inherit this from Mom. (tucks aside, that is)

Thanks for the encouragement.
