New lace and doilies quilt

Hello I start a new quilt this week. I see on the Russian forum this beautiful picture of Russian quilter Vera Scherbakova.
I was lived them. I try to do some sketch of the quilt like this but I never ever ever wasn't so good in the planning. So I decided to sew few blocks in different sizes and play with them.
I choose to use a different cottons and linens in natural colors and blended fabrics in old gold, burgundy and olive. Also I want to use a lot of laces, doilies.
You can see few variations of final composition. Please let me know what you like more


Я рeшила сшить квилт по мотивам этого квилта веры Щербаковой. Попытка создать предварительный план не была удачной (Танечка ну не смогла я , не смогла). После многих неудачных попыток я решила сшить несколько разных блоков , размер и форма которых зависят только от имеющихся в наличии кусочков тканей, кружев и салфеток. А потом поиграться со всем этим в сборке. Можете видеть промежуточные результаты и поделиться вашими мнениями. Шторную ленту и вышивку и кружево я хочу добавить после сборки.

New life for old doilies

I found this great piece in local thrift shop.I don't know what it was. But I can't left this thing in the shop. It was heavy cotton weaving fabric with great embroidery. The red letters is the couching ( I think) and great delicate crocheting done from swing or tatting threads . But there was few big stains on.

I put a few doilies from my collection on the stains . I put this work in my living room and play with doilies until I was happy with result and 2 days don't changed nothing. I sew doilies with run stitch, I use all founded not finished crocheted pieces and don't cut anything. I love the result and you?
