Description

These two doilies made in a pinwheel design were likely made by my great-grandmother, Alvina Billig, and I'm guessing they date from the 1930s - 1940s.  The smaller one is mainly tan with a white border and measures 6.5 inchess across.  The larger doily is white, made with a thicker crochet thread, and measures 8.25" across.
