I am a sucker for reproduction fabrics which are exactly what they are – fabrics with prints and colors inspired by fabrics used back in the 1800’s and early 1900’s.  When you want a quilt to have that old-fashioned look it’s repro fabrics that you need.  When I get these beautiful quilt tops full of reproduction fabrics I pair a traditional quilting pattern to finish that vintage look.  For this quilt I chose one of my favorite traditional quilting patterns called the “Baptist fan” = a series of evenly spaced arcs nested across the quilt.
