I was going to answer, but Peggi nailed it. Ours does not allow political discussion, but where my daughter lives that got out of hand. She finally quit reading it. Most of the posts have to do with lost and found pets, and I'm sure it's great for the ones who are in that situation, but it can be very distracting if you read all the emails. I just browse once in awhile. Some of the posts relate to gardening or power outages or whatever might be going on, and the local police can post information, such as scams in the area or traffic spots to avoid because of an accident, but unless they live in the neighborhood, they can't read the posts. They also have a free and for sale items exchange, and that's how my fabric find happened.

Thanks for all the input about the fabrics. I think it's very similar to some that were mentioned, but I haven't found the exact ones online yet. I imagine they're quite old. I will post the quilt when I finish it, which should be in a day or two.

I also think you have fabrics from more than one line. I think I recognize one of them and it's quilt old.

I've bought several layercakes that are from lines of fabric, and usually there is a lot more similarities in prints/types than what you have. There are several in your group that look like they could be the same line, but several others that look like they are not. I will add, those are colors that I love, so I think they all look wonderful!

Reminds me of a fabric line called "French General" or something like that.

I also like to put together my own choices of fabric. I may not be real good at it but what I put together and make a quilt with is "me".

Those are pretty fabrics but I too don't know the manufacturer.
On the Nextdoor; they have one here where I am that I just joined not too long ago. There are many pluses; people asking for recommendations for just about everything; a good plumber, electrician, yard workers, roofers, mechanics, etc. A good source to get pros and cons of different businesses. Road closures, and here lots of fires going on so where they are located, etc. I got an 'invite' from someone. Has some interesting information on it - sometimes. I ignore the political stuff but honestly haven't seen too much of that.

Jo Morton? I have some of those prints in my stash and I know she's a designer I like - - I wouldn't know the specific line of hers though.

I have never been wedded to a particular line; like so many others, I buy what I like.

Thanks, Peckish. Doesn't sound appealing to me. Some people just love to vent to whoever will listen. But the pros sound pretty good.
Oh- I'm the biggest sucker for fabric lines!
