    Why thank you so much for the kind words SewExtreme. It was my very first doll quilt and only the third actual quilt.

    Oksewglad, you said exactly what I thought about Boop56's doll crib. I love the suggestions you gave for little quilts. I completely agree.

    Boop56, I hope you will post photos when you make some quilts for it.

    I also was thinking that a little stuffed mattress made out of blue ticking fabric stuffed with dryer lint and then tucked with small buttons would be cute too. Course, you could make a pillow that way too and then a cute quilted pillowcase for it. Wow, lots of possibilities. :-D See, we are all just little girls inside, wanting to play again! :-D

    I just read this and saw the words 'antique doll bed' and then I look at my mom's doll bed sitting right in front of me. My mom will be 86 this year and the bed was made for her by her grandpa when she was 3. It used to have wheels she said that her brothers broke off and she thinks it may have been painted once. I know I had it and then my daughters and now my granddaughter plays with it. Any suggestions for a quilt or colors? Any sqaure designs that might look nice?
    Wow what a treasure! Ideas for quilts:
    1. Crazy, Victorian with lots of handstitching.
    2. Simple 9 patch out of shirtings.
    3. A broderie perse style.
    4. A scrappy using 30's prints--high lighting pinks, yellows, a touch of blue, green, and lavender off set with light colored muslin.--small Dresden plate maybe
    5. An Amish style bars quilt using red and blue with the black.

    Okay when are you going to start?

    Actually the first one that came to mind was one like this.

    Did I mention that I am a newbie to quilting? I will have to look up a few you mentioned but I do have an idea. I will work on it and post. And of course ask for critiques on it. Thanks for being such a wonderful bunch of people!!!! :-D
