Old fashioned quilt
My cousin has opened a respite house for care-takers. It is an old carriage house, quite antique-ish. Beautiful. I want to make a quilt for the home but want something "old fashioned". And of course, the mind goes blank. Any suggestions? Probably a throw size, not a bed size.

This can be looked at 2 ways. Old fashioned as in fabric or in pattern. Lots of star patterns come to mind Ohio star, friendship star, Lemoyne star. How about a dresden plate in 1930's fabrics? A simple 9-patch or 4-patch done in the right fabrics would give the "old fashioned" feel you are looking for and be easy to make, maybe even more than one!
Good luck to you and your cousin.

I agree with Kathy’s, in the old fashioned feel will come from fabric choice as much or even more than the pattern. Civil war reproduction, 30’s or solids (like Amish quilts) will work. Then any classic pattern (stars or log cabin) will look old fashioned.
No matter how classic the pattern, a modern print or batik fabric will not work.
