It reminds me of my grandma. I have an old, yellowed table cloth of her's that has flowers on it. It was wrapped around a doll with doll quilt.
It's my own design and I've been tweaking it. I finished off the corners of the red checked Jacob's Ladders. What about the big piece of floral? Does it look OK or strange out there all alone? What about making the whole corner floral?
