Indigo Crossing fabric by
Minnick and Simpson I have been waiting for this line to come out for a long time!!!!
remember this post, go look at their quilt made with this fabric line, just beautiful. Here is the quilt I knew I wanted to make as soon as I saw this fabric line.
aren't the blocks just fun? bright and light compared to my normal quilts!
One of my goals was to make a few more 2 color quilts over the next year or two...
This is the quilt I knew I wanted to make as soon as I saw this fabric line. I hope mine has the same look like the antique when I am done, will add in a few more beiges, hmmm maybe even a few tans?
This book is
American Quilts in the Modern Age 1870 - 1940 The International Quilt Study Center Collections. Edited by Marin F. Hanson and Patricia Cox Crews, This is such an amazing book I bought it a few years ago. Many Antique quilts and history in this book, Beautiful antique quilts.
Linda made this quilt in red and white that was amazing you can see it in her
Quilts in the Barn exhibit.
This book
Making History Quilts and Fabric from 1890 to 1970 by
Barbara Brackman Has the same quilt on the cover , this book has a pattern for a quilt inspired by the antique as well. My quilt is not the same size as whats in the book. I went with the size I wanted to make the blocks and the border well I know will not be the same.
Hope your finding time to sew this weekend too...

A simple but spectacular design, especially with just two colors.
It is going to be a very personal quilt.....the sort I like. Not a lot of interesting quilts here in NZ where I am for a couple of months.
You are so not helping me resist purchasing this.... LOL
This will be a stunning quilt! Great line of fabrics. Blue and white is my favorite.
I LOVE those blues!! and your quilt will be absolutely wonderful!!! Loving the log cabin blocks - I'm hoping to get to mine later this year!!
Blessings
applause, applause!!! It's a bit different from your usual but it's wonderful. :-)

Oh I like it a lot! It's going to be wonderful!
It's gorgeous, Kathie! How fresh, crisp and modern - timeless!

Your quilt is going to be stunning! I have 2 little mini- charm packs of the same fabric and can't wait to make a mini-quilt! Love that line with that pattern!
Dang! Those fabrics are gorgeous! And yeah, I loved that quilt and also the diamond 9-patch on page 36! Both are on my list! lol
I find beauty in simplicity and this new project is going to be GORGEOUS!
Looking forward to seeing the finished project!
I have already made a quilt top out of this range, just love it and cannot believe the fabric designers havent been right onto marketing two tone fabric ranges to go hand in hand with quilters love of red/white and blue/white quilts!
I like it! I have some indigo's I purchased years ago, and have still be trying to decide what to do with them. You have given me some good ideas.
So excited to get my mitts on some of those blues!!
Look at you--already well on your way to another great two color quilt!
Don't be suprised if you'll see my version of it one day. White and blue are our favorite combination.
All the cream and blue fabrics are beautiful! How fun to make your version of a quilt you have admired for so long.
Love all the quilts you and Linda are making. Two colored quilts stunning! What a great way to use some of that fabric we have stored away!
Beautiful indigo fabrics there. I want some! Getting distracted :)
Looks so fresh! Are you using only fabric from that M&S line? Unlike other colors, I find that sometimes blues are difficult to mix.
Love the blue/white quilt in Barbara Brackman's book! Yours will be gorgeous in the M/S Indigo line! Too many lovely quilts to make and not enough time to do them all!!
Great quilt! I think that is one antique quilt that looks very modern!!
Agreed! Tho i think the are begining to produce more. Hope this trend continues.
I'm impressed that you've been able to cut up your fat quarters--I'm still petting mine! I love what you've decided to do with yours!
It is certainly a simple but very effective design. I have that book as well, really enjoy reading books like that, makes what we do have so much more meaning!!!
gorgeous fabric AND quilt...i am waiting for one of my local repro shops to get this line...gorgeous!
perfect
this will be a beautiful quilt!
I like the simplicity of the design.
very nice
hugs
beebee
I'm a sucker for blue and white - gorgeous!
Blue and white yes, my favorite of all color. This is going another one of those antique looks before you even finish it - Hugs Nat
This is going to be gorgeous! I am really enjoying sewing with this line right now, too! I'm so happy I'll finally have a blue and cream quilt!
