My mother cut out an entire bow tie quilt, and gave me the box with all the pieces to make for my oldest son. By the time she gave it to me, he was in a queen size bed, and the quilt was supposed to be twin. So I put off working on it. Now I'm being blessed with two grand babies this year. One boy and one girl. So I've decided to make moms quilt into baby quilts. I will get 3 baby quilts out of what she gave me. I have one problem, though. She had white backing fabric in the box for the original quilt, and neither of the girls, nor I like the idea of a white backing. I would love to keep them in the era, and find fabric for the backing and the binding that are similar. I need suggestions, since these will be keepsakes for the babies. Do any of you have resources for vintage fabrics, 60's-80's. I would love to finish them with the appropriate fabric. Thanks in advance for any recommendations.
