Dark Chocolate and Lilac, c. 1850 by Sara Morgan
Rich warm browns, subtle lilacs and deep purples make for timeless beauty in this wonderful vintage reproduction collection from Sara Morgan. As was popular in the mid-19th century, the soft florals reflect a sign of the times – elegant prints with strong copper brown accents and finely detailed prints which displayed the strong European influence of the era. The purples of that period were fugitive dyes, often unstable and bleeding onto other fabrics of the quilt, making prints such as these a rare find.
Decorative borders and stylized floral appliqué motifs were indicative of the quilting styles, as were eight-pointed stars. During this period, quilters began to experiment more with piecing patterns and variations.
Although many of the quilts created were large enough to accommodate four poster beds, folks from the Midwest area rarely included the cutouts that were traditional among the New England quilters. Reproduction fabric enthusiasts are sure to recognize the true treasure found in these rare prints.

WOW, can't believe how these purples have drawn me to them. I'd make a purple bedspread and replace the Hankie Quilt that is on our bed right now.

I had to rule one of these out like an episode of House Hunters International. Then between the two left I chose the dark chocolate and lilac collection. It's just comforting and pretty and makes me want to look at all my quilting magazines for just the right project. I would keep the stack on my table and look at it for a long time, getting to know it and just enjoying knowing its there waiting (not unlike that piece of dark chocolate in my bag.)

I didn't think that I would like the purple and brown, but I have to say that it is gorgeous. I would buy some of it and use it for decorating and quilting

My favorite collection! I love lilacs and lavenders, I've just painted my bedroom a creme color, so these would be the perfect bed quilt.

These are the lovely colors my daughter has chosen for her new home. I'm sure she would enjoy a new quilt as an accent!
