Pride & Prejudice Storybook Quilt

Regency Applique, in a redwork version. 

Quilt pattern inspired by Jane Austen's 

Pride and Prejudice

designed by Nancy Bekofske.

Lydia Bennet and two soldiers

The first version in applique

was inspired by 

Marian Whiteside Cheever's

Story Book Quilts. Nancy decided to illustrate her favorite book.

Regency Applique

Little Women quilt by Marion Cheever Whiteside

for Ladies' Home Journal, 1949

Nancy sells the pattern for her Regency Applique quilt,

in applique or embroidery. 

Mr. Collins introducing himself to Mr. Darcy

Mr. Darcy and the Bingleys

Nancy's been making the Austen Family Album blocks too.

Love her fussy cut floral that runs as a theme.
