What's my line?
 

A few months ago someone on Nextdoor.com offered "Free!! Lots and lots of quilting pieces!" Needless to say, I jumped on that. It was three under-the-bed size bins full of nice fabric, some of it sewn into partial blocks. I asked her whether she was giving up quilting, and she said no, but she was just reducing some of her excess. I probably should do the same, but there's nothing more inspiring than an infusion of new fabric. In a way it's more inspiring when some of it is fabric I might not have thought to pick. Among them was a whole lot of 3 1/2" hst's from a fabric line that I don't particularly like, but when I started playing with different arrangements I found them a lot more appealing, especially since here they were, neatly sewn and ready to make into something. I've been making a quilt that will be done in a few days, and it's bugging me that I don't know what line this was from. These are some additional pieces. Does anyone recognize it?

Looks like Minick and Simpson's style. Don't know which collection.

I personally don't go for fabric lines. If it looks good together, it's doesn't matter. Honestly, what you have might not be a fabric line exactly, but rather just good color choices and an eye for color.

I don't know but they are such pretty fabrics! Glad you got them.
I never heard of Nextdoor.com. Is it a local thing?

I don't buy fabric lines. I just try to buy good fabrics and pretty colors.

I agree! Mix and match what works!

I have several of these fabrics, but I got them from the thrift shop as scraps, so I can't help you. As a matter of fact, several have already ended up in a few quilts I made and donated.

Possibly French General?

It's a website (there's also an app available for smart phones) where you can sign up and discuss neighborhood goings-on with your neighbors. When you sign up, you select which neighborhoods/areas you want to be informed about. It's very similar to Facebook and is free.

Pros: Notice of community events, such as farmers markets, construction notifications, job fairs, neighborhood garage sales, a rash of mailbox thefts, items for sale, etc.

Cons: Some people go on rants that I find juvenile and petty. Some people vent about the dumbest things, like a man walking down the street, and the neighbor posting about it found him "suspicious" and wanted everyone to keep an eye out for him.

i don't think they are all from the same line.
i recognize some of them from my stash but am out of town so can't check the selvages.

i think the stars are cranston mills vip (from a bazillion years ago.)
the little red clusters on ivory and blue are moda. i recognize those from a charm pack i had a looooong time ago.

most of the rest look familiar but i can't remember anything about them.

I was going to answer, but Peggi nailed it. Ours does not allow political discussion, but where my daughter lives that got out of hand. She finally quit reading it. Most of the posts have to do with lost and found pets, and I'm sure it's great for the ones who are in that situation, but it can be very distracting if you read all the emails. I just browse once in awhile. Some of the posts relate to gardening or power outages or whatever might be going on, and the local police can post information, such as scams in the area or traffic spots to avoid because of an accident, but unless they live in the neighborhood, they can't read the posts. They also have a free and for sale items exchange, and that's how my fabric find happened.

Thanks for all the input about the fabrics. I think it's very similar to some that were mentioned, but I haven't found the exact ones online yet. I imagine they're quite old. I will post the quilt when I finish it, which should be in a day or two.

Maybe Park Avenue by 3 Sisters for Moda.

I also think you have fabrics from more than one line. I think I recognize one of them and it's quilt old.

I've bought several layercakes that are from lines of fabric, and usually there is a lot more similarities in prints/types than what you have. There are several in your group that look like they could be the same line, but several others that look like they are not. I will add, those are colors that I love, so I think they all look wonderful!

Reminds me of a fabric line called "French General" or something like that.

I also like to put together my own choices of fabric. I may not be real good at it but what I put together and make a quilt with is "me".

Those are pretty fabrics but I too don't know the manufacturer.
On the Nextdoor; they have one here where I am that I just joined not too long ago. There are many pluses; people asking for recommendations for just about everything; a good plumber, electrician, yard workers, roofers, mechanics, etc. A good source to get pros and cons of different businesses. Road closures, and here lots of fires going on so where they are located, etc. I got an 'invite' from someone. Has some interesting information on it - sometimes. I ignore the political stuff but honestly haven't seen too much of that.

Jo Morton? I have some of those prints in my stash and I know she's a designer I like - - I wouldn't know the specific line of hers though.

I have never been wedded to a particular line; like so many others, I buy what I like.

Thanks, Peckish. Doesn't sound appealing to me. Some people just love to vent to whoever will listen. But the pros sound pretty good.
Oh- I'm the biggest sucker for fabric lines!

Don’t know what line but it’s really pretty.

I'm a sucker for fabric lines too. Love 'em! It looks like Moda's French General. They've made several collections and they're all fab.
