I was digging about in a box of fabric that had been donated to me about three years ago. The quilter was an art quilter who passed away and her husband was cleaning out her sewing studio. I was looking for some large print fabric for a mystery quilt but what did I find? Several bags of partially constructed projects. Not my UFOs but UFOs none the less. I laid out one last night and discovered it is fabric from a museum that is reproduction of 1830 - 1840 prints. This quilt will be mine. The salvage said, Clarissa White - Shelborne Museum Fabric by RJR. Snooped about and found the museum. One of their claims to fame is they have an individual who recreates the patterns from antique quilts and I found the pattern that uses the fabric I have, but it has already been cut and made into four-patches. I will continue to make something using what is already created and the two yards of uncut goods. A good project for my upcoming retreat.
Yes, after all of that snooping and discovery, I found about a dozen different LARGE print fabrics I could use for my mystery quilt. Now, to choose just one.
