It's still a beautiful fabric and a bitter sweet memory! Quilters today don't realize how hard it was to find 100% cotton in the late 70's thru the the 90's! Nothing but poly or poly blends. nobody wanted old wrinkly cotton. We thought the poly was the most wonderful thing, now I shutter when I touch a piece of it!!! I have a 3 yard piece of cotton calico given to me by my 99 year old Granny. She told me how she had pinched pennies and saved to purchase it and then loved, petted ,and saved it for 30 years! I've had it for 40 years now! It has given me endless hours of pleasure and sweet memories. My children have instructions that it is to be put in my hands and buried with me!!!!!
