    I remember it as dotted swiss as well. In fact I still have some small quanities in blue and navy. Not enough to do much with, but will use it in a sunbonnet quilt.

    It looks like dotted Swiss fabric to me, however, I haven't seen any in quite a while. Sorry I can't help.

    Hancock's Fabric they do on-line shopping and I have always seen Swiss Dots there in every color imaginable.

    Might try ebay. Somebody may be selling some and also Hancock Fabrics sells it but not sure you can get that exact color

    A couple if years ago i got some from fabric.com. It was not 100% cotton but looked good. I think Martha Pullen .com carries dotted swiss fabrics.

    https://www.fashionfabricsclub.com/c...n-dotted-swiss Believe it was $5.75. You should know though that it is usually a batiste weight- like a cotton lawn.

    I used to make my DD dresses out of Dotted Swiss when she was small. I still have some around somewhere.

    It looks as if Denver fabrics has a great piece of pink dotted Swiss. It is 100 percent cotton. And before I knew you weren't supposed to, I used lots of garment fabric in quilts and (now don't anyone have a conniption) I still do. froggyintexas
