The piece that inspired this quilt is the vintage Scalamandre fabric in the center… the one with the beautiful urn and bouquet of flowers! I wish you could feel how soft and lightweight this is! It’s perfect for year-round warm climates or a summer quilt.

All the colors were pulled from centerpiece. The large red roses that run the length of the quilt was vintage fabric I found. I loved the contrast between the large roses and the tiny flowers in the green print across the top. I bordered the centerpiece with a blue polished cotton and a sage green silk dupioni. The bottom piece is a large silk dupioni plaid, which also coordinates with the floral bouquet. The front of this quilt is all vintage with the exception of the silks.

The back is made from a small piece of the tiny green and aqua vintage cotton print, a soooo soft floral cotton batiste, and a light as a feather cotton voile, which just happens to be a feather design by Anna Maria Horner!

The double-fold French binding is a sweet little red fleur-de-lis cotton print. It is machine sewn to the front, then folded to the back and hand-stitched all around.

The batting is 100% cotton.

This quilt has been completely quilted by hand… by me. Each section of fabric has a different pattern quilted. Here a trellis, there a Baptist fan, over there a clam shell, and so on. I worked for quite some time, every chance I got, letting my hands and fingers rest in between quilting.

Size: 67” x 71” which makes for a generous throw quilt, but can be used on a toddler bed in a pinch.

This is one of a kind and can not be duplicated, but I will continue make quilts in this style as time allows.
