The collection was created around an antique border print from the mid 1800's, along with antique coordinates in varying shades of red and brown. The rich red tones include shades of Madder and Turkey red, both commonly used in the 1800s. These are beautifully paired with brown, Bonnie Blue's signature color.

For the quilt's 45 blocks, small, closely spaced motifs were selected. Their scale lend themselves to the 5-inch size, while shirtings were added to provide lights. The decorative border stripe is cleverly pieced in some of the blocks.

The designers borrowed common elements from original quilts of the period by employing a strip-set design, then went a step further by varying the width of the vertical pieced columns for added visual interest.
