Can someone point me in the right direction please.
I need to redo a few blocks of an old quilt that I think was flour sacks. I wouldn't know a 1930 and 1940 fabric from a hole in the ground and need some help. Thanks! |
:wink: ebay probably be your best best if yiu are looking for such fabrics
|
And most of those fabrics are 35-36 inch. Sometimes you can buy scraps that would work. Sometimes it is hard to date those fabrics for a specific year.
|
A great place for any era repro fabric is at www.fabricattic.com
|
Yes, Fabric Attic is great (hot link http://www.fabricattic.com/newpage12...FQ_xDAodBh84rQ) as trupeach said. Another great place is Reproduction Fabrics http://www.reproductionfabrics.com/shelf.php?ID=7. There are lots of places for repros, just google what era you want. It's the original stuff that is hard to find.

:D Thank you!!

Should I try to get the same print fabric or just choose another print?
On some of them I only need to replace 1 or 2 petals. |
It would probably be pretty difficult to get the same print. But I'd try to match it as closely as possible in color, value and style.
|
Your quilt blocks look like feedsack fabric. The plaid looks just like one of the feed sacks I first used.
