I called it dotted swiss. It was popular a long time ago in the 70's.

Dotted Swiss --those were the days --I liked the 100% cotton as it held its shape for years --used it for everything from baby clothes to dresses to tops and aprons to curtains. I will have to check Fabric Depot to see if they carry it.

Dotted Swiss---------------I'd love to have some. I see it but not often.

Did see almost dotted swiss print at JoAnn's today. Over by the dressy fabrics.

I've got one small left-over, not quite a fat quarter size, that I ought to do something with. But I love it too much to mess it up. So I jsut pet it and put it away.
