Reproduction Patterns

Hay Bale by Edyta Sitar at Laundry Basket Quilts
Here are a few wonderful reproduction quilt patterns available now.

Farmers' Market by Edyta Sitar at Laundry Basket Quilts

If you are thinking of a mid-19th-century reproduction, say a Civil-War-era quilt, you might choose one of these block quilts.

Wedding Sampler by Di Ford


Drayton Hall by Di Ford

Earlier inspiration for say 1812- or Jane-Austen-era reproductions would include medallions.

The Burnt Quilt by Di Ford


Phebe Warner by Di Ford

Netherfield Park by Megan Carroll


The English Basket Quilt by Corliss Searcy

I found many of these patterns at Corliss's Australian shop Threadbear. Click here:

You can buy kits for some of these quilts but you can train your fabric eye and learn a lot about quilt history by buying the pattern and then collecting the reproductions.
