I remember that when I started quilting , the cotton calico fabric was all 36 inches wide... and there was very few of them. Poly was really becoming "the" fiber. There was no such thing as a quilt shop, and quilts were almost all made from scraps. Only a quilt for a very special occasion like a wedding , did we purchase fabric just for a quilt project.
I do recall getting a rotary cutter when they came out.... it changed everything!
