Suggestions for a new "antique" quilt?
#11
I love old homes!!!!!!!! My Mom is still in our family home that was built in the Civil War era.
Really any of the old patterns would work for you. One that comes to mind is Irish Chain but Log Cabin,
and so many others would be great.
My Gram had a brass bed and she had a lovely lace coverlet on it. Not really my taste but it was so pretty.

I love Log Cabin. The center square does not have to be red if you don't care for it. I am not a red person but I made one for Jim with a darker shade it I just love it. I named it "Lincoln's Legacy".

Here is a link to the Quilt Study Museum at the University of Nebraska, Lincoln. They do amazing work here and have so much information, not to mention a beautiful museum. I wish all of you could visit there. On the website you can search for antique quilts and you should find many authentic ideas. I love your plan to honor your house's history.
