Chintz Panels New & Old

Medallion Reproduction quilt by Georgann Eglinski

I'm packing for a week long retreat with 9 friends. We are bringing some chintz panels to make a group medallion that we may auction off for AQSG in the fall.

I'm bringing this panel from Collections for a Cause.

And a few older repros that I MAY find this week in those plastic tubs labeled chintz.

Wish I had this new Barnsley from Petra Prins. Maybe someone else will.

#15

Now you may wonder what the numbers are. Merikay Waldvogel has assigned a number to the chintz panels we see in antique American and British quilts.

She and I have started a blog just to post her information about panels. See it here:

We won't have the new Di Ford repro of #10 to work with, 

because it won't even be in shops till August.

 But I am sure between us we can come up with a few.

Cynthia Collier's medallion with #28, the Jane Austen panel

Never bought #28; should have.

Levensboom

Another Dutch panel---no number (yet)

#30

Reproduced for the Quilt Museum in York UK

Of course, I shouldn't be allowed to go near a chintz panel. Here are six SIX unfinished chintz quilt tops that I photographed a few months ago. I decided I would start with the smallest and I have finished that one.

I didn't have enough panels so I made one

memorializing Queen Elizabeth's Jubilee a few years ago. (6 years ago)

Wendy Reed's little repro with panel #5.

One we collaborated on a few years ago at a retreat.

The center doesn't have a number (yet) since it's an Indian palampore.
