Jewel tone quilts
My daughter called me yesterday and she and hubby have bought their first home, a 1947 craftsman farmhouse.
She is interested in doing the interior in jewel tones, deep reds, dark blues, wonderful greens....but absolutely nothing purple! Do you know of a line of fabric for the colors and can you suggest a pattern...I'm really stumped on this one.

Fabric.com has a very large selection of quilting fabrics.
i would try maybe Batiks Plus or one of the shops that specialize in Batiks Hoffman Batiks are Wonderful in deeply saturated colors. I love working with them. A Stained Glass Pattern in deep saturated Batiks in their colors would be beautiful

Missouri Star recently had fabric by Jason Yenter that was rich colors. Here is the link to the fat quarter bundle - https://www.missouriquiltco.com/shop...quarter-bundle. There is purple but the colors are rich and you wouldn’t have to use the purple.

if you go with batiks, check out Fabric Fanatics on-line--it's all batiks and they always have a huge selection of sale fabrics--lots of beautiful colors. In the picture section of the Board there was a posting today showing a beautiful quilt one with a beige and jewel colors that would be wonderful with batiks, too.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]621070[/ATTACH]I made this quilt several years ago using jewel tone fabrics from a collection of fat quarters. The pattern is called "Brave New World" and I believe I got it from a Fons and Porter magazine. Since the quilt was made 13 years ago I don't remember the fabric line but I've seen many beautiful fabric collections in tonal or "blenders" jewel tone fabrics.
