Now I have another question. Where can I find a good variety of thirties fabric? I have found a little here and there, but not a really good selection that I can order all at once. I'll need a pretty good variety. I have some, but want thirties solids, too. I want to be able to have at least 3 rounds that match. I don't mind paying lqs prices if I can find what I want.

Look for Aunt Grace fabrics. That is a whole line of 30's reproduction fabrics. If you go on eBay and search Aunt Grace you will find TONS!~!!!

I usually buy my 30s fabric from www.fatquartershop.com and www.quiltshops.com. Just be sure to put in "30s fabric" or "reproduction" in the search engines on these sites and you'll get a ton of shops. :)

Oh, and you can go to www.quiltshops.com and do a search. Also try all the online sources listed in the Links and Resources section here.

I love the repro fabs, too. What size pieces do you need? Let us know what your project is and we may be able to help. I've been collecting from all over....it's fun and those fabs are so cute! I've been putting a spiderweb together using them. Have had to experiment with different color combinations ...great fun! Good luck with your search!

I got a good price on a bundle of fat quarters at ebay. You can narrow your search to thirties fabrics.

Here is one place that carries solids from that era...

Hope this helps some! :)

Thank you all so much. I did order the solids and will look at the others. I LOVE this board!!!

Connecting Threads just came out with another grouping of 30's :thumbup:

Honey, do you ever get to Janesville? There is a great fabric shop there with LOTS of the 30s. COme on down, I will take ya there!

Oh, oh! The BEST store ever was suggested to me a few months back. Thepatchworkco.com. They have pages and pages of both 30s and civil war fabric. Lots of solids too!

Thanks Carrie, I've never been to Janesville, but if I ever do, I'll be sure to let you know. Wouldn't it be great fabric shopping together? I would love it.

I believe Keepsake Quilting has 30's

yes, aunt grace is what you want.

Yes, it sure would. LOTS of LQS's down this way too!

I'll start saving my pennies so that I can really stock up!

I can cut you some 5x5 squares if you want. I can send as much as you need.

thanks for the links

Karen, thanks so much for the offer. It means more than you can know! You are so genereous to offer. But, I need at least a fat 4 of each as I am making a grandmothers flower garden. I have quite a few already, but need more. I did find a large amount at one onlime store that was suggested amd will be orderomg them soon. Thanks so much!!!
