I shall do my own, thankyouverymuch.

Our bedroom has craftsman style furniture so I've decided to make a quilt with reproduction William Morris fabrics. I've purchased 2 focus fabrics, one for the front and one for the back. Then it can be reversible. We have a couple of Alphonse Mucha prints so it just wouldn't do to try to force some other fabric style into the bedroom mold we've made for ourselves. For instance, this is over our bed (minus the text at the bottom):


I personally like the combination of the art nouveau and craftsman styles and I think the colors in the fabrics will work well.

That said, I haven't been able to find a quilt pattern that I like. So, I'm going to make my own. I'll be documenting the process here with pictures and instructions. Hopefully I'll come out the other side with a quilt pattern that other quilters will want to try for themselves. Now, to find that graph paper...
