Dark Chocolate and Lilac, c. 1850 by Sara Morgan
Rich warm browns, subtle lilacs and deep purples make for timeless beauty in this wonderful vintage reproduction collection from Sara Morgan. As was popular in the mid-19th century, the soft florals reflect a sign of the times – elegant prints with strong copper brown accents and finely detailed prints which displayed the strong European influence of the era. The purples of that period were fugitive dyes, often unstable and bleeding onto other fabrics of the quilt, making prints such as these a rare find.
Decorative borders and stylized floral appliqué motifs were indicative of the quilting styles, as were eight-pointed stars. During this period, quilters began to experiment more with piecing patterns and variations.
Although many of the quilts created were large enough to accommodate four poster beds, folks from the Midwest area rarely included the cutouts that were traditional among the New England quilters. Reproduction fabric enthusiasts are sure to recognize the true treasure found in these rare prints.

THis is a lovely quilt! I like your deisgn and wrote down the sizes! But why wouldn't you see it again on your bed? Because you can't quilt it. I can understand how you feel about doing it, but I think this one is worth the quilting, so maybe save some and let some long arm quilter do the quilting job. Or torn the middle seams and do a quilt as you go in four pieces.

These fabrics are yummy - my favorite candy is dark chocolate and now I think that this collection is one of my favorites too. I recently completed a quilt using your "Salmon Run" fabrics and the colors are gorgeous. I never make quilts for myself and think I would use this for a quilt for me. I would like to design it myself using EQ7 which I got for a gift this Christmas. It would be fun to scan in the fabrics and get to work designing something original.

This is my favorite collection. I would create quilted home decor for my dining room -- chair slipcovers, tablerunner, napkins, side panel draperies and cornice, and placemats. The focus fabric would be SKU 7395-4 for the drapery panels, and I would use the stripe SKU 7397-4 along with animal print SKU 7398-4 and plaid SKU 7401-4 for chair slipcovers, and SKU 7393-4 for cornice and napkins, both trimmed in white. Tablerunner for sideboard and placemats would be pieced patchwork using lights including white with mediums and darks from the collection, including chocolats. Tablecloth would be white antique crocheted lace. Sheer curtains under drapery panels would be white lace or white sheers (winter, summer respectively.) The dining room walls would be painted aubergine("Vintage Charm" by Benjamin Moore) with satin white chair rail, wainscoating and moulding. Furniture is wood--dark browns: pine (chairs), walnut (antique hunt table with drop leaves), mahogany (wall shelf). Wall decor would be one antique round Empire style mirror with antique gold carved wood frame above sideboard, a collection of white ceramic plates as wall art, and a mahogany wall shelf with petite porcelain, china and crystal collectibles for eye candy. Dining room is 8' x 10' with 8' ceiling. Ceiling light fixture above table is antique brass colonial style candlelight chandeliere--I would add squre black mini shades with goldleaf interior to each candlelamp. There is one tall antique brass candlelamp on sideboard with a black square shade/goldleaf interior. (Goldleaf interior of lampshades gives a golden glow to the light which is flattering to skintone and complementary to wall and textiles.

I love the way it looks like a modern version of antique fabrics. I would make a quilt to donate to our rehab center fund raiser auction.

My choice Dk. chocolate and lilac. I would make a quilt for my mother who will soon be 90 yrs. young. She has a 1900 4 poster bed (that she was born in). She has taken care of me while I have been going thru chemo. I would love to do something great for her. She drives about an hour each day to see me and do for me. She says I'm still her baby.
