Florences Fancy 31660-11

From fanciful flowers to practical prints, checks and stripes, Florence's Fancy -1860-1900 by Betsy Chutchian for Moda Fabrics tells the story of two women named Florence. The wife of a doctor, Mary Florence raised her children during the Guilded Age. A gourmet cook, she set elaborate tables of silver, fine china and cut glass, complete with equally elaborate floral arrangements from her gardens. In contrast, her granddaughter Florence Marie was practical and frugal with her life framed by the Great Depression. Her cooking was nothing fancy, but just as delicious - served on a simple yet beautiful table with an occasional vase of flowers. While neither Florence was a quilter, this collection honors both women, from whom the designer descends, and will make beautiful heirloom quilts - both fancy and practical, and many other projects. Quilting fabric, 100% cotton material, 43/44" wide.
