Here's the original and the replica together: Is it real or is it Memorex?
To get a more antiqued look, I tea-dyed it. I have no formula for the process; I just put 3-4 teabags into a pot with some water, and heat it up. For a doll quilt, it is easy. Here's a picture of the quilt in the tea water.
There's a link up (Here) to see what everyone else is working on this Monday morning. Judy Laquidara has a great blog, and I like to go there to see what other quilters are doing.
Lastly, I'd like to add a post-script to my previous post (Here). I had titled it "A Visit to A Quilt Show", and at the last minute before posting, I changed the title to "Eye Candy From A Quilt Show". Yesterday, when I looked at it, I burst out laughing!! I have a post titled "Eye Candy", and then the first picture is of two quilters. LOL To clarify, the eye candy meant the quilts!
Post-script #2. I don't mean that JoAnne and I are not lovely, but I'm just sayin, well, you know what I'm sayin.

LOL!
The doll quilt is fabulous! I like to tea dye my small, antique-looking quilts as well. I think it adds a lot!
Great doll quilt. That is how I tea-dye, too. Just wing it and see what happens. Works just fine. : )
Love that doll quilt--glad you are back, too! Do you know where to get a little dolly bed? I have searched all around here and no luck. Will need one for my "Faithful Melody" quilt...thanks, hugs, Julierose
What a cute quilt. It goes perfect with Paddington and friend.
Super cute little quilt! Love the rounded corners. I think I need to try that.
Gorgeous! I love the blue and white, and your rounded corners are perfect!
I love blue and white quilts. And instantly aged makes it even better.
This is a beautiful little quilt!! You do such wonderful work!!
It was great seeing you again at Shipshewana. I wish I did not have to leave early because I wanted to see the Show N Tell beauties. I am waiting for the bloggers to put up photos! Safe trip back home to you. Colleen
