This Patchwork Quilt is for the spare bedroom used by Seraphine’s Doll Friends when they visit her.
A Patchwork Quilt.
SUPPOSING Miss Seraphine’s doll-friend Clementine were to write and say she was coming on a visit next week. Wouldn’t you be in a fix with no nice bedspread for the spare bed, because you were reading that book instead of attending to the dolls’ spring cleaning? You will have to see about a new bedspread quickly, and you can make one that will be very pretty, with just a few little pieces. Here is where those scraps that Grandma gave you the other day will come in usefully.
We are going to make a patchwork quilt. It won’t be as large as the one Grandma has, but Clementine doesn’t require a very big one to cover her. First, let us just see what pieces we have got together. Some unbleached calico, some pieces with roses and rosebuds on, some dark ones with leaves and bunches of grapes, one piece with a little pink flower all by itself, a few flowery bits, and some with different kinds of spots. There is just enough here to make something really lovely, and I shouldn’t wonder if when Clementine sees it she doesn’t want to change bedspreads with Seraphine.
