I know it's a bit early for working on Christmas projects...but let's be serious. Starting now, is the only way I get Christmas sewing done before the mad rush.
Anne of Green Gables was one of my favorite book series in middle school, and Gilbert Blythe from the first two Anne of Green Gables movies was my first celebrity crush. So I was SUPER excited to hear about this year's Anne of Green Gables Christmas fabric collection, and new I needed to make a quilt...but not just any quilt...a quilt worthy of Anne herself and one that I could imagine on her bed at Green Gables or in her cozy House of Dreams.
After looking through some vintage quilt inspiration, I came across this quilt made by Jane Austen and the other women in her family. I thought even though Anne herself did not like patchwork...she might have been willing to make a quilt fashioned after a pioneer of English women's literature.
