    My sister-in-law made a quilt for my niece back in the 70's that had a head, arms, hands, legs, and feet attached to the top and bottom. When my niece made her bed the head was on the pillow while the arms laid on top and the legs hung off the bottom. She lost the patterns. I would like to make one of these for my granddaughter but can't find a pattern. Does anyone have such a thing?

    Wow thats a hard one to find. Do you have a picture of the original?
    If you have a design wall, start there. could lay it all out using sheets of colored paper. Have fun with it, see what you can create, good luck.
    :wink:

    I don't have a picture and the quilt was given to charity over the years. All I have is my memory. I quess I will start with my memory and different colored paper. Thank you so much. The original pattern was in a Mc Call's magazine around 1976. I contacted them about a year ago, but no luck.

    Still looking. Haven't found the pattern yet. Am working on a snowman quilt while searching. Haven't heard anything from McCalls in regards to back issues.
