Changing the Blade

I'm serious now.  I put a new blade in my rotary cutter.  Time to make a quilt!


I am going to make a reproduction of this antique four-patch doll quilt.  Here are some of the fabrics I have chosen so far.  These are repros, not antique fabrics that I often use.  Notice how many different striped fabrics there are in the original quilt.  I haven't found a fabric to use for the sashing yet.  Any suggestions?

  1. Just too cute! My stripe inventory is very slim - I'm not sure why. A new blade is always good. I should change mine out as well.

  4. Oh, My goodness, Ann. I have that green from a deconstructed quilt. How old do you think it is I know that yours is a reproduction...hmmm...Maybe when life is not so stressful, I will have to dig the whole thing out. Anyway, I love your little doll quilt and cannot wait to see the new one.

  5. So adorable. No wonder you want to do a repro. Can't wait to see it. That border looks familiar. Part of a column stripe?

  6. It reminds me of a Windham fabric. They may have a floral stripe.

  7. What a lovely darling quilt. I'm sure you will find the perfect fabric for the sashing. Maybe a Lecien. They have wonderful roses fabrics which looks antique.
