What do you do with 30's repro fabric?
#52
Hi there,
I wish I had time right now. I had been looking for the Mother Goose Land quilt pattern. I had inherited the marked top but non of the material or the key to how to stitch it.
In my internet search I found a quilt library at one of the heartland universities - Kansas, maybe. There were litteraly tons of quilt patterns available to look at.
Yes, I found info on what I was looking for and a site to buy what was needed.
Let your fingers do the waliking ... or ask your librarian for any books on quilts from that era [there is interlibrary loan.]
Good luck,
ali

I have a book called "Link to the '30's: Making the Quilts We Didn't Inherit," by Kay Connors and Karen Earlywine. Each pattern is based on either a pattern from the 1930's or a newspaper column that printed quilt block patterns in the 1930's. They show a scan of the pattern/article and give a little history. The quilts are gorgeous...some well beyond my skill level, but my absolute favorite fabrics and designs. The book is beautiful just to read!
