    Default lets imagine a new quilt

    So if you had to quilt something that screamed "Downton Abbey" to you, what would it look like? So far I am only sure that it would have a creamy linen off white and some black in places but other than that I am stumped. What about the overall block design or fabric values? Any suggestions?

    That is a tough one. I love the show, though!!!

    Be warned. I am BORED.
    This could be dangerous.

    When you get cold just go stand in the corner.
    They are usually 90 degrees.

    A giraffe's coffee would be cold by the time it reached the bottom of his throat.
    Ever think about that? No? You only think about yourself??

    From looking at the pictures - have never seen the show - I would use cream, green, burgandy, navy. I'm sure whatever you use will look wonderful.

    Love that show! How about some burgundy (maybe a burgundy/tan stripe?) and some small flowers.
