I will admit some of the fabric I bought in the 60s and 70s isn't fit to be used at the bottom of a bird cage. I don't know what I was using for taste back then.
Back in the 60's and 70's we didn't have much choice when it came to cotton fabric. Quilting revived in the late 70's and the colors were really different then! I remember just being excited to find 100% cotton no matter the color!
