Over
the years, most of my favorite quilts have been reproduced or at least
modeled on vintage quilts that I have in my collection or that I have
seen somewhere at an antique store or flea market. There is just
something about them that I can't quite describe but they often have a
feel of history and a classic appeal and a homey touch all at once. This
is one of those quilts. We have done it in this pattern in both more of
a reproduction color scheme as well as a more updated version made out
of our newest fabric collection. I love them both!
The classic version uses an orange fabric from our Tapestry collection,
a mix of cream prints for the backgrounds and a variety of dark browns,
blacks and plums from Honeysweet, Tapestry and other MODA lines. The
"fresh" aqua version uses our new Somerset fabrics for a completely
different look and feel. Choose the "fresh" version for a beachy summer feel. Choose the "vintage" version for a classic reproduction style quilt. One pattern - two completely different looks!
