Hmmm… my brain is working… visualizing fabrics… perhaps something more contemporary looking… Wish I could see the quilting better.
Looking for paper and pencil…

that is a really pretty quilt. There sure were some good quilters back in the 1800's that the quilts have survived over the years. Nice that they are still around for us to get inspiration from.
