Hometown Parade Color Option

Neighborly Welcome
Take out the stars and stripes and narrow the neighborhood to nine blocks to make this almost-quare throw.

Quilt tester Laura Boehnke chose prints in familiar deep, warm tones from Jo’s Jamestown collection by Jo Morton for Andover Fabrics.

“I wanted to come up with a hearthside look that was a bit more subdued,” she says, “so I framed the quilt with a brown outer border, used darker green plaids to dim the lights in the windows, and chose strips with less contrast for the Log Cabin blocks.”
