A little update on my 1718 coverlet reproduction: I'm working on it whenever I can, it is so different from what I have done so far and very addictive...
The sunlight came in on Saturday for a few minutes. I tried to capture the whole width of this piece (hanging side ways)....
If you want to take a look at the original one that is in the collection of the Quilt museum in York ( sadly closed down in 2015, but you can still see the collection online ) you can look here . The colours on this site are much brighter than in the book with the pattern. I'm not sure which one is closer to the original coverlet, how it looks today.
This is where all the blocks are made, one by one. Some of them by hand others by machine...
With most of the fabric choices I try to stay close to the original coverlet, but sometimes I just pick what is in my 1718 fabric box.
On the left of my table I put up my 'design wall'.

Leuk!. Ik ben even ver:)
Vreemd dat dat gekke ding best verslavend werkt hè?
Groet,
Wow! It looks SO great!! I love your mix of fabric sources. You are inspiring me to get back to mine. I got stuck at the bell and bird blocks. Those beaks are tiny and my appliqué skills are not that great. Thank you for the link to the collection too.
Leuk, ik sta nog steeds in dubio . Wel of niet maken.
Looking wonderful! Great to see the close ups of all the different textures and colours :)
Het ziet er mooi uit hoor!
Hij wordt prachtig. Echt heel mooi.
Yes, congratulations for getting so far along. I have started one of these, but have not done very much. It is in a drawer.
Yours looks beautiful!
