Dear Reproduction Fabric Friends,

We’re excited to share two fabulous specialty fabrics featured this week at ReproductionFabrics.com—perfect for collectors, historical quilters, and anyone looking to add rare prints to their stash.

1840’s Birds and Basics by Harriet Hargrave (P&B Textiles, 2004)

This out-of-print gem is a rich, chintz-style reproduction showcasing exotic birds and lush florals in an 1840s tree-of-life layout. The color palette—ochre brown, madder red, and Prussian blue—makes it ideal for period-accurate projects or striking medallion quilts. A true treasure for any reproduction fabric lover. Limited yardage available!

Party Girls by Michael Miller

Whimsical and full of charm, this playful print features retro pin-up style women dressed in their finest, holding wrapped gifts on a polka dot background. A perfect choice for novelty quilts, fun bags, or quirky holiday projects. 

Spotlight on Center Panels in Reproduction Quilts

Center panels played an important role in quilts from the late 18th and early 19th centuries—used as focal points in medallion-style layouts or framed in appliqué and pieced borders. These printed panels brought elegance, economy, and narrative to a quilt’s design.

We’re pleased to offer two newly released reproduction center panels inspired by historical prints:

• Trophy of Arms Panel – A striking patriotic design based on early American printed cottons.

• Black Octagon Panel – A bold and graphic floral medallion ideal for framing or broderie perse.

New: Toile Starter Bundle for the Trophy of Arms Quilt

To help you get started with your own Trophy of Arms medallion quilt, we’ve created a beautiful Toile Starter Bundle! This curated selection of blue-toned and floral reproduction prints complements the center panel perfectly. It’s ideal for borders, pieced triangles, or appliqué, just like the sample we’ve started in the studio. Available now on the website while supplies last. Check out the video Margo loaded to our youtube channel talking about this new center panel!
