At last... here are pictures of the Gone with the Wind fabrics. The collection is supposed to be available in January 2010. At this point, the manufacturer (Quilting Treasures) is in the process of collecting orders from quilt shops.

And as usual, I don't know which ones to choose. Please chime in with your comments as to which ones you like best!

And more:

And still more:

And the final two:

I love the panel... the one with the Belles... and the ones under the stripes ! Thank you for sharing

They're all nice but I've never used fabric with people on them. What would you do? I do love all the other ones-the colors are beautiful and can think of many projects they'd fit into. (I guess I missed the point that these are GWTW fabrics and that's why they have people on them-duh!)

Do you have these in stock now?

Between you and me... I really don't know WHAT folks would do with these. Isn't that terrible? I'm thinking that it's like the Wizard of Oz line... you just collect them. I suspect, though I'm not sure yet, that they will be releasing other GWTW collections if this one sells. And, if it's like Oz, it's best to wait until ALL the collections are out so you can get some of every design.

Which reminds me... I should post pictures of the new OZ ones too.

These pictures are "sneak previews" and the fabrics are not going to be available until January. They are yet to be printed.

We've been hearing rumors of a GWTW collection for well over a year now. We though that the line would be ready in 2009, as it's the 70th anniversary of the movie. But... looks like they're running a little late for that.

You have to have the one with Scarlett in her ball gown. It's great.

i like all of them

What a beautiful collection of these
GWTW fabric's!! :D I am an advid
lover of Miss Scarlett. I would
pick her in her ballgown. Then pick
a couple of the other patterns to go
with her. I can just see a quilt design
as I look at your puctures. Thank you
for sharing with all of us!!
:D :D :D :D :D

I like them all except for the striped ones :D :D :D

I can't wait for them to come out. I would buy all except the flowers. My girl friend loves gone with the wind and I would make her a quilt for her Scarlett room. Naturally my most favorites are the ones with the pictures, I like the one that says gone with the wind on it and the brocade ones, the stripes are ok.

I' m not crazy about the brocades but really like all the others. Stripes aren't something I generally use but might consider them once I see the fabrics in person.

When I was a little girl, this would be about 1950, a friend had a GWTW comforter, or blanket, or something. I wanted it so much! Over the years I've searched eBay and some antique linens vendors; nobody knows what I'm talking about. I even tried tracking it down when I worked at MGM in the '70's. Has anybody seen such a thing?

I love them all! It's my favorite movie, I can watch it time and again.

Let me know if you will carry them in your shop, I feel a purchase coming on (unlike tha vapours as the women used to get).

Oh, those are wonderful! Thanks for sharing. Will this be like Oz and have new releases every year or every few months?

I have a bunch of the Oz and am thinking of making a tote with some of it. Then fussy cutting some of the panels to make a throw.

One of my favorite movies!!! I can't wait to see what you come up with.

I used a ton of the wizard of oz fabric to make scrub hats. I gave our surgery manager one with the Glenda the Goodwitch and The wicked witch of the west on another one. She is required to wear them so we know what kind of mood she's in :):)
As for the Gone with the Wind fabric, the obvious answer to you is "Frankly, Scarlet, I don't give a da**. hahahhaah.
I will probably get some of this for scrub hats too. The only ones I wouldn't pick would be the striped ones. Hmm... could it be that some days I just don't sew straight?

I developed my love for GWTW because my Mom is crazy about it! You can't imagine how thrilled she would be to have something made from these fabrics. What an inspiration!

That being said, I'm not crazy about the stripes but they barely beat out any of the flowering prints. It's a shame (at least to me) I'd go for the logo/pic print in either color if it didn't have the flower on it.

Do you know in general how soon a second collection gets released after the first?

I mentioned in the Monopoly thread I wasn't into the Oz or Lucy prints but I'd totally buy this for my Mom (and maybe a throw size for me if it turns out well. Honestly too, I'd be more inclined to search for other fabric that coordinates instead of using all the prints of this line.)

OHHHHHHHHH I LOVE the ones under the stripes and the dogwoods they are awesome

Thanks for sharing. My favorite book, my favorite movie....love it!
I called my DH in to see it. His comment, "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a
.....But, he will when I buy it! :lol:

I like all except the top stripe and the two under the brocades.

I have already posted that I like
Scarlett in her ball gown dress,
for a quilt. Now I think I would like
to add the cream & brown stripe
along with the dark green brocade.
I can just picture it together!!
:D :D :D :D :D :D

You're allowed to change your vote... or comment more than once, for sure!

I just got off the phone with Cranston and they said that yes, this will be like "Wizard of Oz" in that they will be releasing more collections. Exactly how many collections isn't known yet, because it depends on how this one goes. But surely they need to include Melanie and Ashley, and no GWTW group would be complete without Mammy!

Well, for the Wizard of Oz group, they released new prints twice a year. That gives the maker something new to show at the spring and fall Quilt Market (the industry's big trade shows).

I like them all,love GWTW

I would love to see one with Scarlett wearing the gown she made out of curtains, complete with drapery rod across her shoulders. I would definitely buy that one!

Yes, me too! 'Course, nobody will ever ask me to help out with the design process. I can't help but wonder, though, why the one showing Scarlett in her pretty dress only shows her in a single gown. Goodness knows she had enough different ones to choose from! Including the one she made from Miss Ellen's curtain!

Oh, good to note. Thank so much again for answering that for me.

I'd like to imagine they'd have to have one of Tara too. What's GWTW w/o Tara?

[quote=quiltluvrI'd like to imagine they'd have to have one of Tara too. What's GWTW w/o Tara?[/quote]

Yes - not just Tara, but Twelve Oaks as well!

I like the panels with photos. They would be perfect to fussy cut blocks for a Warm Wishes quilt.

I read the book after seeing the movie and I thought they were both so good. I think I'm gonna have to watch it again after seeing this fabric.

oh boy, thats a hard one as i love them all except for the green one towards the bottom

a bit late on replying to this post - but I can not WAIT for the fabrics to come out. I have only purchased one "themed" fabric collection along these lines and it was the Brown Bear line and have never been tempted to purchase anything else - until I heard this was coming out! I first read GWTW (which I bought with my own money!) when I was 13 and have re-read it so many times the pages are coming loose. I was just thinking the other day that I need to dig it out and read it again! I also have my great-aunts 1st edition printing of GWTW that she purchased when it was released. I've seen the movie more times than I can count - maybe more than Steel Magnolias, It's a Wonderful Life or Sound of Music!

I would vote that you order all of them!!! I hope they do one with Scarlett in that red dress!

The Quilting Treasures sales rep told me that the plan is, if this first grouping of GWTW sells well, then they will print others. Just how many more collections, will depend on how sales go.

(They stretched the Wizard of Oz fabrics out into SIX collections... the last of which is due to come out in January. We're talking about a nearly three-year timespan!)

They are all beautiful. I just wish they had more characters represented. I can see using the panel as a center focus, and adding the others. I would love to try. Gwyn

i think i saw that fabric on fabric.com in clearance items. betty
