As I have mentioned elsewhere on this blog, I make
reproduction quilts and my palampore quilt has already been featured here: http://historyknits.blogspot.com/2012/04/knitted-petticoat-from-v.html
as well as two tributes to Jane Austen here http://historyknits.blogspot.com/2011/12/birthday-quilt-for-jane-austen.html
and here http://historyknits.blogspot.com/2010/12/happy-birthday-jane-austen.html
I not only
enjoy making the quilts but also doing the research related to the materials, colours, pattern choices, and stories behind quilts and quilters, some of which also
aides my work in reproduction knitting and stitchery.

I have made quite a few quilts in the squares on point pattern
as it is a quick one to piece, and its simplicity allows the prints to show off
their beauty, diversity and colour. The pattern is often found on quilts from
the 18th and 19th century.
All of my reproduction quilts are hand pieced and hand
quilted.

So beautiful! What a work of art. I wish my hand quilting looked that good!
How very kind! Thank you.
