I've been on a run with reproduction fabrics that are from 1875 - 1910: reds, blues, light blues with small white figures, plus black and grays. See my last post for an example. Here is another top, blocks made in 2019:
The pattern is from a book called "Worth Doing Twice," which used old found tops, remade them, and prepared quilt instructions. The directions were a bit sketchy. Mine looks a lot like the picture in the book. It still lacks a 3 inch wide outer border of red. I ran out of the sashing fabric and substituted in some of the border fabric, which is very similar. I think that will add to the vintage, "make-do" look!
A close up of some of the fabrics used:
If you look closely you will note the two different red fabrics used. Love the pink and black together.
However, I have a short attention span, as I have already flitted to a new project, using very different fabrics! More about that next week.

I like this one!!! The reds make those other fabrics just sing!!
This is so pretty. Thanks for sharing with Oh Scrap!
The different red's just add more interest to the finish. So frustrating to run out of fabric. Thank you for linking up to Put your foot down. I love what you have shared.
