Play with Color, Value and Placement to Create Your Own Stunning Version!

This wonderful quilt is a replica of a 200 year old quilt seen in a museum. Today’s fabrics give it a modern, updated look while retaining it’s old-world charm.

The intriguing design of the quilt depends entirely on fabric selection. Make sure to have extra fabric on hand so you can play with color and value placement to achieve the look you’re going for. Give your version a colorful scrappy look or coordinate the colors around a specific color scheme.

Designer Jessie Aller does not specify the size of the finished quilt but the photos indicate that it’s large enough for a throw or bed. She provides excellent instructions, as well as a line drawing to print and color while laying out your own version.
