Starring Repros

IMG_0523 I finished this quilt that I began at my retreat in November.  I love the way it turned out with the 1940s reproduction fabrics, which are not really my taste at all, but what do you know?  I love it!


Edited to add:  Sorry for not posting more information about my quilt.  I mentioned it last summer when I first found the pattern, and was worried about repeating myself ad naseum.  The quilt is Starring Repros, made with Come Quilt With Me fabrics designed by Pat Yamin for Marcus Brothers.  The quilt was featured in the Fall 2008 issue of McCall's America Makes Fast Quilts magazine.  There are at least 3 more quilts I want to make from this magazine, so if you can still find it, it's very worth purchasing!
