This is just brilliant - I agree it's fantastic faux-Americana. I want to make one of these quilts now! Pity I can't think of anything similar I could do in crochet. :(
I love cabinets of curiosities. I have my own humble one of sorts in the top of our hutch. It contains Indian baskets, wasp nests, bits of shell and sea glass, an antique silver spoon, small jars of shells and seeds, seed pods, feathers, ceramic vases and pitchers, a small hammered copper vase, a Maneki Neko cat, an old rusted railroad tie, old square-headed nails, Oxacan figurines, a large bundle of devil's claw pods, an old stoneware ink pot, interesting beach stones (usually dark gray/black with white quarts veins), a bird's nest with two halved robin's eggs and an old stamp, an African doll...and more that I can't remember now. ;)
