I brought several pieces Liberty of London lawn back when I was in GB during college. I saved the scraps left from the blouses I made for a quilt. After I married in 1978, my Dad commissioned two ladies to make quilts for my sister and I. I chose Double Wedding Ring and furnished the fabrics. It had the two Liberty of London prints scattered throughout the quilt. I washed that quilt at least twice a month for at least 20 years before they began to wear through. I made a quilt about 8 years ago using FQ from a LQS. I have also washed it several times a month. One red print is beginning to wear through to the batting.
