Vintage Scrapworks - Joanna Figueroa - Fig Tree Quilts

Inspired by a vintage antique find, this is our version of a “make do” patchwork, using favorite large florals, toweling stripes, linens and other favorite scraps of collected fabrics. We used actual toweling pieces for the [k/n] pieces and used up scraps in other parts. I recommend washing toweling prior to use to get a more used feel and even perhaps “tea staining” them if they are too white [more info on last page of pattern]. The sky is the limit on the style you can create with this quilt.

This quilt needs a large variety of 1/3 yd. cuts of large floral, stripes, small florals and geometrics. The more the better to add to the vintage and scrappy feel. See pattern for a variety of fabric tips & suggestions.
