So I just started a quilt for myself. It's going to be a reproduction tumbler quilt. I've done 2 rows and some of the fabrics are questionable. Does it really matter if it's not true to the era? I was inspired by a quilt at an antique store and tried to pick fabrics that resembled it. I even took a picture of the quilt. All of the reproductions I've seen are much more muted. I guess if I like it it doesn't matter.

Exactly it is all about you :thumbup:
I like it also :wink: I am not good at picking out fabrics for a certain era :roll: |
Oh, I think all the fabrics are just beautiful! I like it too!
|
If you like it, that's all that matters.
|
Remember the antique quilt's colors are muted because of time. They were once bright and vivid. Yours will look that muted in 150 years too. LOL

I think your fabrics look very Civil Warish!! I like it so far a lot!! :D
Gaigai's comment was so funny haha |
I hope my quilt is around in 150 years!!! Thanks for the tip...I forgot about that little detail!
|
I don't see anything wrong with it.... I love Civil War era fabrics and I too, sometimes pick a pattern that isn't 'authentic'.
|
I found the same thing so I tea dyed mine before I quilted it and it did tone it down where it looks older. It was easy to do with the boxed "Tea Dye".
|
I feel it demonstrates the era very well.
