Art Deco

[pkaplan]

Hello dear quilt friends. I need to make a art deco style quilt for a backdrop for a wedding ceremony. I looked at Don Lin's work from one of the quilt episodes. I am looking for something with a bit softer look, does anyone out there have any ideas or pattern/books they could recommend. Size will be 96x96. Any guidance would be most appreciated.
Warmest regards,
Patti

Patti, I did a search on Pinterest (for art deco quilt) and got several interesting ideas!
Be warned, however! Pinterest is addicting! Ask me how I know! :roll:

Thanks Margo. I am seeking a twelve step program to assist me in my addition. I am a known addict/user of Pinterest. I never thought to look there.
