I love primitive, antiques and virtually everything with a vintage flair. The Civil War era fascinates me and I'm so thankful for the opportunity to be able to include the reproduction fabrics that are available to us today to my quilts.
In yesterday's post I mentioned a photo of a quilt that came through in one of my Facebook feeds that just stopped me in my tracks. It was love at first sight and I immediately knew what my next project would be, the quilt that is folded at the foot of the bed.
It's not a difficult quilt to make but the calmness and serenity that it exudes is right up my alley.
I purchased some new Thimbleberries fabric yesterday specifically for this quilt and as you can see, I'm going to use the same butter yellow/white color scheme.
I might start cutting some time in the next few days but I'd really like to completely finish the center medallion of Brinton Hall first, which just so happens to be my goal for this week!
Happy stitching!

Wonderful fabric choice. Hope you show work in progress. It will be a beautiful quilt when finished.
I also love that pattern and that color scheme. I have quite a few vintage quilts and one in that pattern but in scrap fabrics. Made by Husband's Grandmother, I recognize several of my dress fabrics in there as well. Can't wait to see your finished product. Hope your health has improved and continues to improve. Enjoy a beautiful Spring.
That is an absolutely beautiful quilt and your fabric choices will definitely do it justice. Can't wait to see yours complete.
I'm glad you shared it with us. In my opinion, some of the best quilts are the classics in simple lines. This will be a beauty! I can see why it caught your attention and your imagination.
What a beautiful inspiration quilt! Your fabric is going to look perfect.
Elegant is the word that comes to mind, and your fabric choices look perfect.
Sometimes less is more. So soft and restful.
I love a beautiful, golden yellow but am more excited about your Brinton Hall quilt, if that's even possible!

That is going to be such a beautiful quilt. I love the original as well -- serene is just the perfect word to describe it.
Yum! Have fun with it.
Very pretty. I could see it made up in scrappy colors with muslin. Hmmm, possibilities.
Love the fabrics you have picked out for your new quilt....do you have a pattern or winging it? I can't wait to see your progress!
