I bought it for backing for a quilt that I'm planning for my son and his future wife! When I get it, I post a pic. The colors are different, but I really like it.<br /><br />BlessingsDonienehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08756224977419687996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7554378824181841688.post-46209587415582665542011-07-25T05:49:21.941-07:002011-07-25T05:49:21.941-07:00It looks like a fun purchase.

According to Meller & Elffers page 217:<br />"These overlapping arcs are known as the [scale], clamshell pattern the the scallop pattern..The design is ancient and universal,. found in Roman mosaics, Oriental brocades..." Looks about 1880-1910 to me. I bet the outer border is from the same era. They liked some wild furnishing fabrics (upholstery fabrics) but didn't think them appopriate for quilts, which is why we don't see them much.<br />http://www.barbarabrackman.comBarbara Brackmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07948219446078848778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7554378824181841688.post-46945532697944541922011-07-23T00:43:29.130-07:002011-07-23T00:43:29.130-07:00Lucky Pam.

Unique, colorful, inventive, anything goes. I would love to feel free enough and confident to put fabrics together like that, with no hesitation and no worry that I'm doing it wrong. <br />The border fabric looks very familiar, but maybe I'm just comparing it to the look of clamshells sewn together.Vivianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04255216150275846123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7554378824181841688.post-36322755328736943002011-07-23T00:41:42.153-07:002011-07-23T00:41:42.153-07:00OMGoodness, Lori, the border caught my eye right a...OMGoodness, Lori, the border caught my eye right away, but that color combo: so fresh!
