'30's reproduction fabrics quilt picture


Recommended Posts

Several of my quilty friends are into the '30's reproduction fabrics which aren't quite my style but I conceded to make one quilt using the fabrics. By the time I had accumulated enough different fabrics for a quilt I had enough for two or more quilts. I want the quilt to be an authentic '30's pattern but decided while I'm on the hunt for the right pattern I'd make this quilt. The pattern name is 'Aunt Betty's Attic' and the quilt in the picture on the pattern is done in '30's fabrics.

I used the Circle Lord Baptist fan giant templates to quilt it and like the way the design looks on the quilt. I used Hobbs 80/20 batting so that when it is washed it will shrink up and have an old quilt look. I don't think I'll become a '30's reproduction convert but I do like the fresh look of the fabrics. Thanks for looking.

I have been collecting those 30's prints for awhile too.

Some of the 30's prints are not my cup of tea.

I can see how you would end up with enough for two quilts!

I have mostly the soft pastels which I wouldn't mix with the primary colors, but that's just me!

Congrats on trying something outside your comfort zone! Looks great.
