My giveaway is a gorgeous pattern of a replica quilt made by Mrs. Williams sometime between 1830-1850. Inside the pattern is the story of the quilt. The original quilt and story can be found in the book 'The American Quilt A Historty of Cloth and Conmfort 1750-1950 by Roderick Kiracof.
This version is replicated by 'Threadbear' of Castlemaine, Victoria, Australia.

Oh that would be easy to do...... REDS and WHITES!!! Welcome back to blogging....... your absence has been noted!! Re: I have Sylvia's sampler to do as well........... I have it out on my desk, and that's about as far as I have done. Maybe once you've posted up your pictures, I may just find the time to commence this quilt.
Thanks for the chance to win this beautiful pattern.........take care.

Welcome back Karen. Love Corliss' patterns - myself I would be making it in reproductions, not quite the same colours as the original, but maybe more subdued.
WOW! This is an amazing quilt. I'd love to try it in blues and whites.
Thanks for the chance to win.
What an amazing pattern! I would love to have a long-term project like this to plug away at! I think I would make this in bright, modern solids to marry the traditional with the contemporary (I love to build bridges - ha ha!). Thanks for the chance to win!
Currently my Civil War Fabrics are overflowing so I would definately use them. They've been sitting around too long waiting for the right project.
Em vários tons de azul,que eu amo. Que tal fazer em papel inglês?Outra minha paixão...Obrigada.Seguidora GFC 31.

Love to have a change to win this nice pattern. Thanks for the opportunity.
ohhh beautiful, I'd like to do it in blues and whites I think
Hello - I can see this quilt in rich red and greens and blues and purples - think little snippets of Kaffe - with maybe touches of ochre and old golds. Thanks for the chance!
What a nice pattern!thanks for the give away!
Hmm - I think in Red and white but it could look nice in black and white with accent colours like a green or purple...
That is an amazing pattern! I'd do it in everything but the kitchen sink scrappy. :-)
Oh I would love to make this using my fabric scraps from clothing I have made my children and from various quilts.I love to take traditional quilts and give them a twist using modern color and prints.

I'd find inspiration for the colors from Mount Vernon.
What a beautiful pattern! I have not heard of this quilt before so if I don't win it, I'll have to track it down, hehe. I would do this in civil war fabrics.
Thank you for a neat giveaway and a chance to win.

Wither red and white or gray and teal... Maybe navy and white? Boy, tough choice! But I'd love that dilemma :-)
This is beautiful! I think I'd make it in reds and tans. Thanks for the great giveaway! Merry Christmas!
+I've long wanted to make a wonderful quilt of this type. I thing I would go for red and white or blue and white.
Beautiful pattern. I would go with the blue and tans.
Beautiful!
I'd use white background and a whole range of marbled colours.
Thank you for offering!
I'd love to make this quilt in really modern colors - maybe using Denyse Schmidt fabric, for a bit of a modern twist.
What a lovely project! I'd use blues greens, and purples on cream.
Fabulous pattern!
I'd use a white background and a wide range of scraps!
This would be a quilt to treasure forever. What a wonderful gift to give away to one of your followers.It would be a reminder of days forgotten and would be an honor to receive the pattern. Probably would choose brown, beige and tan or maybe red, beige and brown. Thank you for the wonderful opportunity to win.
Maybe I, for once in my lifetime, would sew it in black as background and then add light colours to that!

scraps of every color thanks
I think that with such a lovely traditional pattern I would keep it simple -- red and white, perhaps?
Really lovely! I already made a Dear Jane, but always love this kind of quilt. I would do it in pinks and oranges, or maybe a red and white version.
I think a cream with various blues would be nice.
I think i would make it with cream and batiks. I am all about taking traditional patterns and using more modern colors and styles.
Thanks for playing!
beautiful pattern - i would love to see it either in reds and whites or creams and blues. Thanks for the opportunity on a great giveaway and have a Merry Christmas. bonnielarson58@gmail.com
Beautiful (and daunting) quilt pattern. I think either old school 1800 reproduction or bright 1930's reproduction would work. Thank you.
What a wonderful pattern. I never have heard about this. Well, I'm not an exprienced quilter so I think it's normal ;p. It will be great in repro fabrics like Darlene Zimermann or sandy klop collections.
Thanks for a wonderful giveaway
Beautiful pattern. I think I would probably make it scrappy.
Wonderful pattern. I would make mine scrappy.
Wonderful quilt pattern. I think blues and greens would be interesting, with maybe a touch of gold. Thank you for your participation.

Oh it is a delight. I think I would love to do it in red, white and blue.. MAYBE.. cuz I would certainly drool over it and debate for a white to be sure. I would most certainly hand work this and learn a LOT about quilting!!
I think I would love to make this in batiks. Thank you for the chance.
I can see this one done in Civil War prints. Thanks for the giveaway.
That is a beautiful pattern! I think I'd make it in a gradation of pink batiks with a very pale lemon as the neutral.
Thanks for the chance at a wonderful giveaway.
This pattern looks so interesting. I would use my civil war prints. Thanks for the chance
Amazing quilt pattern. Reminds of the Dear Jane quilt from the same time period in the U.S. I would use civil war reproduction fabrics of which I have a ton.
Like this pattern. Would make it in all kinds of blues with beige to make it look older. Thanks for a wonderful giveaway.
Blues and creams with some tans. Thanks for the chance at your giveaway.
Thank you for the chance.
I'm a brown kind of girl...so there will be browns in there...I could go more neutral brown with reds, that would be interesting.
Pretty quilt pattern, but it looks like it is beyond my expertise as I am a newbie quilter.
I think I would go crazy and make it with brights. A new version of an old beauty.

We recenlty bought a 1952 home and I am looking to make a quilt for our bed. I think one would work GREAT and I would make it in blues, yellows, and white!

Great giveaway. I think my first choice would be a rainbow quilt. Then I thought of doing a 2-color quilt (blue and white). I think the pattern would like striking either way. Thanks for the giveaway.
Thanks for the giveaway... I would prefer the colours to be in the shades of purple, pink and lilac ...these colour combinations are rare.

I would love to make this in blue and white! It warms my heart when people produce patterns based on historic quilts, I like knowing that I'm making something that could actually have been constructed a hundred or more years ago. Thank you for the generous giveaway! :)
I think this quilt would be stunning in 1930's fabrics with a few solids tossed in. If I win, I'll be looking for those beautiful bright cottons. Thanks for participating in the blog hop party!
Wonderful pattern, i think i would make it in reds, creams and blues.
What a wonderful giveaway! Love this pattern. I would use my CW
repros, I would use green and
cheddars. Thanks for the chance

What a wonderful giveaway. I would make this with Japanese Taupes. Thank you for the chance to win.
We're a military family so I think red, white and blue!
I think browns, golds, blue, reds would be so pretty
Love Love Love this pattern - this would make my container of scraps so happy to be made into this lovely quilt - the pattern is just made for them.
Thanks for the great giveaway.

Thats a beautiful pattern. I would go scrappy.
I love the patterns I'd go really modern to offset the classic patterns
I think the pattern is beautiful! I would use repro fabrics but scrappy because in the day you used what you had. Thank you this is a wonderful giveaway!
Lovely pattern. I think I'd dig in my scrap bag and make it in lots of colors! pbstrand@msn.com
What a fabulous pattern. Thanks for a chance to win.
I think blues & silvers/grays & whites.
Or a fall palette?
I think I'd need to have it in hand and study it for a bit. When I start pulling fabrics for a project, the project tends to take on it's own voice and guide itself in directions totally different from where I started!
Thank you for the chance. I love the history of quilting and love that the history is included with the pattern!
I think I would do all solids, and in reds, tone on tone!
Thanks for the giveaway!

Not sure colors but I love the historic quilts.
i think I would like to do this in all my scrappy colors
I'd love to make this using antique-looking fabrics like maroon, off-white and navy blue
I think I'd like to try something different and use Kaffe fabrics. Thanks for the giveaway.
I'd make it scrappy - I just started collecting civil war fabrics.
I would probably use solids. I would either do a lot of red and white, or blue and white. I LOVE this pattern, and would love to win so so bad ;) Thanks for the chance to win!
