Expert: Julie Silber Date: 6/23/2008 Subject: Name of Quilt Pattern
Question Hello. I hope you won't think my question is too silly, as it has been bothering me for nearly 20 years now! I am dying to know the name of the quilt pattern for the quilt that appears in the movie "When Harry Met Sally". It is a yellow/orange/green floral design (tulips, I believe). It appears in the scenes where Sally is in bed. I saw that this question was asked on other web sites but not answered, so I know I'm not alone in my curiosity. I hope you can help! thank you so much.
