Way to go...maybe there are buried mason jars full of money in the back yard too

Wonder if the little lady was saving for crazy quilt with the velvets and silks....

Dresden plate is a beautiful pattern for those early prints.

When do we get to see a work in progress?

I went totally breathless when I recognized some of the patterns on the fabric.!

Some of the paisly designs are from old flour sack! I havent seen this fabric in unstitched form since I was a little child.
totally stunning fabric and a joy to work with.
personally I wouldnt sell any of it but boy oh boy would I put it too very good use.

The fabric is great but to get the history with it is priceless!!! What a wonderful bonus to be able to talk to her and find out what she did with that fabric. Great find and good luck!!!! Jenn

Gosh I almost forgot about this thread! OOPS!!

Really? So then...what age would you put those pieces then? I've been trying to find some of these fabrics online by researching but I'm not having much luck

I'm afraid. I know the previous owner gave me timeframes but I'd REALLY love to know the timeframe of each fabric so I can know for sure.

If anyone else knows or recognizes pieces - and can pinpoint a timeframe - please post it here.

I honestly dont know what I'm going to do with all of it, more than likely offer it for swap or sale. I still have quilts to make out of my fathers clothing that I want to accomplish and given I've only made 2 so far, and am working on my 3rd (both for siblings) - I still have yet to make my own out of his clothing. I want to get that done first and foremost.
