I was surprised by how narrow it was but bought extra so that I could make a blouse and NOT have the large floral right on top of my breasts!

There were not very many - most had moved on to the 42-44" width but there were some. So, if you get confused and see fabrics that look like the 60's or 70's - but are 36" wide, they might still be from that era. Just FYI. :-)Bernie Kringelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00753481379287809548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7667429570761867646.post-13657659348547606122020-02-29T13:22:45.410-07:002020-02-29T13:22:45.410-07:00You've had a great month with all your orange ...You've had a great month with all your orange sewing, well done.

Great quilt. So many fun quilt blocks you have been playing with. Lovely to see. I'm a novice at fabric history... it was neat to learn they change the length in the 50's.

It is the orange/white polka dot block. You may want to correct the pieced strip's orientation on the right side of the main square.

I have that book on fabrics from 1800-1960 but haven't found an affordable copy of the second one. I hadn't thought to look at the resources, duh! I have my Granny's quilts and also purchased a vintage quilt a couple years ago and got interested in vintage quilt repair. I hope to pursue that more this year, if I can ever stop digging in my scrap bin for the RSC!Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17786068334983762178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7667429570761867646.post-35694454508100868282020-02-28T06:05:19.380-07:002020-02-28T06:05:19.380-07:00Lovely oranges going on there;))) The Courtyard ti...Lovely oranges going on there;))) The Courtyard tile is just so pretty...hugs, JulieroseJulierosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04079686021190332890noreply@blogger.com
