I'm looking for a pattern

**RuthNY** · 10-11-2005, 07:14 AM

While in Vermont this past weekend we came upon a quilt shop that had a quilt BF really would have boughten if it weren't for the $1000 price tag. It's a Mennonite pattern that I was told wasn't going to be easy to find as they don't like to share their patterns in print. I don't know if this is true or not but I'd like to try to find and make it for BF. It's called "autumn Splendor". Does anyone know where I could find the pattern?

I did a google images search and found several different quilts called 'Autumn Splendor'. Which matches best?

Here's the first:

I agree...there are lots called Autumn splendor. Can you describe it to us so we can help you better?

Hope this link works...
We took a pic of it and I'd share that if I knew how to resize the pics. I can email but it's too large to post...

I'm positive I have seen that pattern somewhere! Maybe in one of my hundreds of quilting magazines??? I'll start looking through them as soon as I have a chance. I know I have one that's very similar that I made a mini quilt from....

Here is one that is very similar. You can order the pattern and adjust it to make it exactly as the one you seen.

http://quiltmaker.com/special/patterns/ (scroll down the page)

Many who sell quilts will not give out the pattern. I found the quilt you seen selling for $698.00 (queen) and $798.00 (king). Also many people find a quilt pattern and adjust it to their liking. This one would be simple to adjust.

Thanks for any help with this

I noticed during my searches that the most common is to edge with red. I thought that was interesting. Also the quilt we saw had the rows alternating directions back and forth per row, unlike the link I posted which had them all the same direction.
Anyway, I'll keep looking.
Do you know how COOL it is to have a wonderful boyfriend that actually went into the store to BUY this quilt if it was more affordable!? It was his own idea! Geesh, am I a lucky girl!!!
