Dawn and her daughter do such a great job creating patterns from antique quilts. Over the last few years I have made several quilts from Collector With a Needle patterns. It seems I have started a tradition without even realizing it.
The first was Feathered Tulip in Vases
This Past year I started Noah and Matilda and have the center completed. I do see a trend here.
Harrison Rose is such a pretty pattern of an antique quilt I felt like I really wanted to make it. We wouldn’t want to break a tradition would we.
These are some of the fabrics I am going to use. I have collected so many bubblegum pinks and this seemed like a good quilt to use some of them.
At first I thought about doing it in the traditional reds and greens or even some of my beautiful Kaffe fabrics but decided to go with the pinks.
I do think this pattern would be just beautiful made in some of the wonderful new fabrics. The pieces are large enough to really show them off. It’s just that I don’t have a large collection of them and I wanted to use fabrics I already had.
Harrison Rose has several options for the flower block. This is the one I choose.
Dawns patterns are so well done. The blocks are full sized so you don’t have to have them enlarged and as an extra all the quilting designs from the original quilt are included. To see any of these patterns just click on the names of the quilts.
Happy Stitching in this new year.

That one went so well I decided to make Calico Paradise.

Their latest pattern is Harrison Rose.

Oh, those pinks in the Harrison Rose are perfect!! Although, I think the Kaffe fabrics would be fantastic!! Hey, I know, you could do one of each!! :-))

Just had to smile by myself, reading this post, as by accident I came across this pattern yesterday en really love it and even doubt of ordering it, from the US to Holland, And now, seeing it here, I love it even more. You did a great job chosing your fabrics, as I think they are perfect. Have fun with the first stitches, and I cannot wait to see the first blocks!
