Brownstone raffle quilt

It took a guild and 3 special friends, and the top was completed in 2 1/2 months. 
One of our talented guild members did a beautiful job with the quilting on her new long arm.
Thank you Barb for your contribution!

This quilt was inspired by Florence Peto's "Calico Garden" quilt that is owned by the Shelburne Museum.  It is rather small, only a crib size and was made in the 1950's.
Instead of nine-patches I decided to do the 16 patch to maintain scale with the larger applique' blocks.  We added a vine border and then finished the quilt with the small squares on point.
