circa 1825 Fabric

I love this new line of reproduction fabrics from In The Beginning Fabrics:  Circa 1825

I first saw the artwork for this line last year at the American Quilt Study Group's annual seminar.  In The Beginning Fabrics did the line in association with AQSG.

I knew it would be good, but I have to say it is FANTASTIC!

This photo is one of the floral colorways.  I put a small spool of DMC thread in the picture so you can get an idea of the scale.

It is in stores now so check your local quilt shop.  If they don't have it, do an Internet search.  There are several online sellers who also have it in stock.



I bought the documentary  and a few of the contemporary colorways.

I thought the thumbnails on the websites looked like a red print.  It turned out to be more brown.
It ended up the first one I cut into and used!








The detail in the prints is wonderful.


Not a paid infomercial, just a happy customer!
A portion of the proceeds benefit AQSG.








Great Blues


Did I mention I love the detail?
Have a great week!
Thanks for stopping by - I'm off to fussy cut some fabric....
What should I make with this fabric for the AQSG Auction this year??

  2. Thanks for the heads up. The large floral really looks like it would be great from some broderie perse. I'll have to check it out in more detail. Have fun.

  3. I love the print used as a border on the free patterns. I think the fabrics are screaming for some appliqué & pieced blocks---maybe a medallion setting??? You could make a gorgeous vase & broderie perse some flowers like Kyle said. Just random thoughts---I know you probably have something creative brewing in your mind already!!

  4. The big floral print would be good to use for broderie perse. Beautiful fabric.
