Celebrate the beauty of American quilting history with the Collection for a Cause Circa 1889 Free Quilt Pattern by Howard Marcus for Moda Fabrics!
Part of Moda’s beloved Collection for a Cause Mill Book Series, this beautiful quilt captures the rich colors and timeless appeal of late 19th-century patchwork. Inspired by antique textiles, the design features traditional log cabin-style blocks in deep burgundy reds, navy blues, warm browns, and aged creams.
Thirty beautifully coordinated blocks create a classic geometric layout, while horizontal patchwork sashing adds visual interest and movement. A wide, dark floral border frames the quilt, giving it a sophisticated, heirloom-quality appearance.
This pattern is the 18th in Moda’s Collection for a Cause series and was created to benefit the Quilts of Valor Foundation, an organization dedicated to honoring and comforting service members and veterans through handmade quilts.
