I picked these fabrics up recently on a quick trip to Seattle. I love these colors and designs.
The orange flower print fabric reminds me of fabric I might have used to make an A-line dress for myself in the late 60's or early 70's. Except these prints were usually found on cotton/poly blend dress weight fabric. I only remember calicoes and country type fabrics being used for the quilts I saw then. We've come a long way since then to our current quilt fabric choices, haven't we?!?
:o)

Yes Linda, here in NZ I can remember prints like that, polished cotton or chintz, shiny back then. Lovely selection together. Cheers from Jean
Love the sweet floral print. A quick trip to Seattle? :o) Just enough time for some fabric shopping, right?
I agree, especially the orange flower print I used to love and WEAR!
Striking together!
Yes! I had a dress in the late 60s made of a similar flower fabric.. the flowers were bigger, and it was not 100% cotton. otherwise, it sure reminds me... those funny old days.
Lovely fabrics. Nothing wrong with a trip down memory lane!
Gorgeous fabrics! That flower print makes me laugh - it's so familiar! I think I have something similar in my quilt from about 1970, except I think the old fabric was kettlecloth. I really like the black & white with the dots!
Yes. I remember those days. Almost all my clothes were home made.
Beautiful fabrics from Seattle. Thank you for sharing and encouraging some memories from the past.
