1863

Beautifully executed buds, leaves, and vines appliqued over border triangles set this Peony Quilt apart from other pieced quilts of the time. Catherine Graves Brockway Bolster used a successful, yet bold and novel approach for a which was traditionally made on a white background. As a result, a quilt was created! Make the quilt in the popular double pink reproduction fabrics available now and create a true reproduction!

Nearly each plain block is quilted in a different design, with the middle one being Catherine's signature block. This beautiful wreath stencil is included with the pattern,

Review of the new pattern

A remarkable quilt made by a teenager in approximately 1850! It's magnificent appeal is a result of the fabric choices and the skillfully executed sashings. The Compasses actually " float" atop the crisp, white background. A native Vermont quilt, it has been displayed at the Vermont Quilt Festival, and exhibited at its home base, the Shelburne Museum. It has also graced the cover of Plain and Fancy by Richard Cleveland and Donna Bister. Enjoy reading the history and learning how the original quilt was constructed.

The pattern includes instructions for hand piecing, machine piecing, freezer paper AND foundation techniques. A full pull-out pattern sheet is included with template shapes and the foundation patterns. Truly a technique for everyone! The quilting stencil taken directly from the 1850 quilt is also enclosed.
