Downloadable Version of our Sweet Sixteen Pattern
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!
