If you get me for a DQ partner just let me know you want one. I love making them!!!! Thank you for all the comments.
Yes, yes, how did you do that? Are the Singer emblem and filigree on the bed printed on the fabric or did you stitch that? It really is unique. Would you make one for all of us? Please, please, please? :lol:
I add my please, please,too!!

It's arrived! Is it the first to cross the Atlantic? Grammy6 received her quilt from me on Thursday.
The print in the middle is of Brighton Pavilion (get googling, ladies), so I built the design around it to make it like a postcard from England. The end result looks totally 1960s, which is a big departure for me. I thought the 60s were pretty shocking at the time, which probably explains the shade of pink.
So, so far we've had the 1950s and the 1960s. Anyone for the 1970s?
