Oh, that first one is reminiscent of the whole, "back-to-the-land/homestead" movement in the late 60s and early 70s. Everything was calico prints and gardening themes. (Remember granny dresses? Katherine Ross' dresses in Butch Cassidy?) I'm sure that you can find fabrics to match up with that. The second one looks a little more quaint...perhaps a nod to the 30s. There's lots of mens' shirt prints in that...again, with little, calico prints. Try looking on Connecting Threads site. They have a lot of this kind of stuff. and, as I mentioned before, Effies, on EBay has a lot of these prints as well.

Thanks for sharing...the quilts are going to be beautiful and straight from the heart.
