William Morris: Working on a Best of Morris Line
Mostly Morris by the Heritage Quilters of the McHenry County Historical Society, 2014
The McHenry County Historical Society and Museum in Illinois is selling tickets to win this quilt made from my William Morris reproduction collections for Moda. The Heritage Quilters have used Jeff Gutcheon's Card Trick pattern with a selection of blue-greens and wine-reds.
It looks like the border is this piece from the
Morris Apprentice line of a few years ago. Click here to read more:

Moda and I are working on a Best of Morris collection, which the sales reps are showing to the shops this month. We took my favorites and did a little recoloring.
(Just so you don't get indignant that your shop hasn't got these fabrics yet, remember this catalog features future lines. The catalog is for shop owners so you will have to wait to actually buy the beautiful fabrics.)
While you wait, I thought I'd show you some more Morris projects I've found on the web. You still may be able to find the fabrics the clever stitchers used or you can wait for the
Best of Morris, scheduled for February, 2015, delivery to shops.
Reia at My Patchwork home decided to try some curved piecing with a pre-cut pack from the
Morris Apprentice line.
She worked from the center out
improvising and photographing as she went on....
Ann Marie at AMSewing pieced a Kansas Dugout pattern from JellyRoll strips of
A Morris Tapestry
My old friend Judy Martin has included William Morris reproductions in the Sisters Log Cabin quilt patterned in her book
Extraordinary Log Cabin Quilts. (We worked together at
Quilters Newsletter when we were mere children.)

It looks like she used the Morris Tapestry line too.
I'll be posting more about the Best of Morris.
