It's now in my to-do file. I really want to do a 30's repro and this looks great!

That's a beautiful quilt, and the pattern is perfect for the reproduction prints. And I love the ticking on back. There was another thread on how to use muslin, which makes me ask - is the white fabric in your quilt muslin?
