Second Doiley Quilt 2018

I have a lot of my mother's doilys and don't want to get rid of them for sentimental reasons. Few people use these delightful little pieces of lace any more. My mother had a big collection some of which she made herself, others she bought or were given to her. I handsewed each of the doilys to a square of unbleached calico, put a couple of borders around each block and made them into a quilt top. Hopefully my grandsons will appreciate having a little something that belonged to their great grandmother. I have taken photos of some of the individual blocks and also taken one of the quilt.
