Tuesy has twisted my arm....I'm in for at least a couple. I'm still trying to decide which ones.

Did I read that the background has to be WOW? I don't want to be difficult but I would think muslin would be more authentic for that period. I can't think of any 30's WOW.

Oh...can I use original 30's feed sacks?

Well, I'll put it up to a vote, who prefers muslin? Most 30's fabric I have seen has white accents. I'm not an expert. (Just reporting on what I saw at the quilt store last week.)

Yes, you could use real feed sacks! Neat!

I like muslin..and since I have some, that'd work for me.

BUT if y'all prefer the WOW, just tell me where some is... I can't find any.

I've only seen the white b/g with little teeny tiny dots of .. either red, blue, green, etc..

Yes, lots of the 30's fabric had white accents in the fabrics. But for large areas like backgrounds, muslin was usually used because it was cheap and readily available from feed or flour sacks, they didn't have to use their carefully hoarded print fabrics.

I vote for muslin.

I sent you a PM to sign up... I have no preference for the background , but I do have another question. Can there be dupicate sets ? Like can more than one person make , for example, block 60?
THANKS for hosting this

I am ok with either background, but would prefer white/wow.
