Suz.....My avatar is one of the blocks from the pattern I'll be using. I made a pillow to audition the pattern before I went to the expense of purchasing the fabrics. It is called Baltimore Garden by Barbara Burnham. The floral's are pretty basic, not really dense in floral's etc. I chose this pattern because of the history of the original quilt that Barbara found in an attic. The actual name of this pattern is called "MEC Remembered". MEC are the initials of the original maker in 1848 found on the original quilt. Barbara, painstakingly, recreated this pattern and used the originals colors to do it. That is what I am going to do, too. Others have used different colors. I just really like the simplicity of this quilt and the history behind it. Good luck...
My SBS quilt top is done! Just clipping threads and getting it ready for LA. This weekend is sandwich time!
