Red and White dolls

 Here are some pictures of the Japanese Red and White dolls.  A friend of ours gave us these two dolls about ten years ago.

 Here is a back view

 Here is a side view.

The beautiful silk brocades in this new quilt came from my friend who made the dolls. She carefully kept all the scraps of the silk that were used to make dolls.  Her collection of dolls is awesome.  Her collection of scraps were more awesome.  To me anyway.  There were so many fabrics with gold thread in them.  I have never seen these types of silks for sale, but I'm sure they are very expensive.  I'm very fortunate to have these beautiful fabrics.
