Introducing Nan's Fancy! A New Pattern!!

Finally!  After what seems like forever....my new pattern featuring my American Gothic fabric collection is here!!

Introducing......Nan's Fancy!

The blocks are a variety of American Gothic fabrics so they're  scrappy, and there's only two fabrics used in the setting of the quilt to give your eye a place to rest.  I love how these simple blocks create quite the stunning contrast on the inside of the quilt, and the pieced border gives the illusion of a scallop border facing inward! 

Why call the quilt Nan's Fancy??  Well......

You may know that my fabric collection was named after the famous painting named American Gothic.  In my research, I read that the painter, Grant Wood, used his dentist as the man in the painting, and his sister, Nan as the woman.  Interestingly, they actually never stood together to pose for Grant. He thought they looked like a simple couple that would have lived in the 1800's, and dressed them as they would have dressed then, and purposefully added the pitch fork, pot of flowers, and barn, to signify domesticity of the era as well.  So...I decided to name the pattern after Grant's sister, Nan....and, tongue in cheek, added the word "fancy" because she is so NOT fancy!  They're just plain folk...and I think they're just fine the way they are!  That's my story.  The black in their clothes really sets off the other muted colors in the painting, I think, as it so often does in our quilts!

Here's a few more photos of my Nan's Fancy quilt.  Remember...I'm sooo not a good photographer, so please excuse the photo quality.
