I'd love to hear opinions on this type of doll quilt...

I would love a quilt with a peace symbol. Of course I was a flower child wannabe and wished I could live in CA back then. That symbol meant so much during my high school days! So did tie-dye. "All we are saying, is give peace a chance!"

Thanks for the list Amma. I was thinking apples because we are surrounded by them. We are also surrounded by mts., trees, snow, deer, elk, grapes and other stuff. Decisions!????

I'm In. My only problem will be which one to make. I already have the pieces cut out for one that should be perfect to represent where I am. this will be my first swap so be gentle.

Heehheeee...that would be a really "cool quilt man!!!"....I had one of those jackets with the long fringe that hung off the sleeves and I thought I looked soooo cool in it! I think I even wore it when it was way to hot to have it on!! :roll:

I agree....go for the fun ideas....thats what its all about anyway. I'm still going back and forth on mine... ;)

And my gravy and potatos are always a little lumpy...kinda like me :mrgreen:
