A Quilt for Alice
By Jeanne Poore
I went into Prairie Point Quilts in Shawnee, Kansas,
the other day and saw this
quilt making great use of shirting reproductions.
I especially liked to see that Jeanne used some of my
1862: Battle Hymn reproduction prints.
She used Paula Barnes's pattern A Quilt For Alice, inspired by Alice Paul's Suffrage Banner. Read more about Alice and the banner here at my Grandmother's Choice post:
There is a range of color value in the 1862 line but it makes sense to add some very light prints to get a more dramatic contrast between dark and light...
Log Cabin by debi schrader
...As debi did in her log cabin.
She even added some almost white solids.
Fox & Geese
By Jeanne Poore
Jeanne taught a class in this Fox & Geese design in a butternut and blue color scheme. That's an old pattern with a good spot to frame a large print.
Best Friends
By Jeanne Zyck
The shop's other Jeanne has finished a top in my 2012 collection Metropolitan Fair.
She used a plain almost white for the neutral and precuts for the scraps.
Her pattern was Best Friends from Country Threads.
I brought in some of the strips from another line.
Jeanne Z. was plotting her next scrap quilt.
Behind her is Ilyse Moore's
Paradise in Kansas quilt. See the pattern book
over on the left here.
