I got a shock the other day when I went into a store and discovered that vintage is younger than I am.

Well I did have fun guessing which ones were vintage, but to tell you the truth they are all fantastic. And my favorite quilts in the whole wide world are 1930.s reproduction.........Reminds me of my granny's farm...........I would go there every summer in a little town called Milton, NC...........I say my love of quilts come from that memory, although my granny died long before I ever became interested in quilting........thank you for these beautiful fabrics, and thanks for reminding me of my love of the 1930's fabric.

I would use all of these beautiful fabrics. Once in the quilt and quilted, you will never tell the difference if there is any in quality. I would be proud to own a quilt with these fabrics.
