Rachel Remembered by Betsy Chutchian

Rachel Remembered by Betsy Chutchian for Moda Fabric.

Large chintz floral prints mix wityh delicate florals and sweet ditsy prints in this lovely collection dating to the time period from 1820 to 1850.  Inspired by one of my antique quilts, the colours "Rachel Remebered" are soft gold, a rich chocolate brown, indigo and federal blue and a beautiful shade of deep red.  Creamy background prints complete the palette. 

the fabrics in my antique quilt icluded a print commemorating General Andrew jackson and seeing that print mixed with the many beautiful floral and chintz prints reminded me of his wife Rachel.  She dies after he was elected to be president but before his inauguration.
