Finish It Up Friday...Grandma's Doilies.

Image
My grandma gave me these little doilies.  She bought them at a family reunion auction and thought I could make something out of them.  They are such a fun variety of colors!  I thought about just attaching them to each other, but it seemed rather bland.  So I rummaged about and found some semi-coordinating fabrics for a background.  I did a little bit of playing before the final layout.  I tried putting the doilies on different background colors, but decided they looked best on their coordinating color.  At the last minute I turned the solid colored doilies on end and LOVED it! So here is my final product!  It is a nice little wall hanging.  I added three loops at the top to slip a dowel through.  I didn't use any batting in this one and so I did a flip and stitch to finish the edges.   Here is the back.  I don't know where its final hanging place will be, but for now it is right at my eye level :)!
