1930s
This quilt is made from 1930's reproduction prints and some original fabrics from that time period. I bought a big box of fabric for $20 from somebody at work. Her grandma was moving from a house to an apartment, so she was getting rid of extra stuff. There was a lot of odds and ends in the box- old sheets, junky stuff, but also some treasures. The border on my quilt was made from an old fabric from that box. Plus there are pieces here and there in the quilt that are oldies.
I love that old fabric, the prints are really interesting.

I keep trying to attach the picture, but there's an error on the page. The computer must be in a snit.
There it is! (Blogger was giving me fits earlier, too.)
That's gorgeous! The border is perfect!
