I see Amazon has the second book for sale, 1950-2000.<br /><br />And I saw that you are working on a book for this quilt! That makes me happy!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-373996407183148608.post-2146045408645351582012-09-09T11:37:08.457-07:002012-09-09T11:37:08.457-07:00Willie this is great stuff...I love it.

At least I can say the block photos are ready. ;)Bill Volckeninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02212965199140126299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-373996407183148608.post-24707407642047412952012-09-09T08:40:51.064-07:002012-09-09T08:40:51.064-07:00There sure is a lot of textile history in this qui...There sure is a lot of textile history in this quilt. I don't think I've ever seen a book published on fabrics from the 1970's. There is no fading here...everything is crisp. The patterns are so interesting. Maybe you should document them in a book, hmmm?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-373996407183148608.post-25128345987974554582012-09-09T08:02:20.918-07:002012-09-09T08:02:20.918-07:00Yes, it is backed with pinstripe material that is ...Yes, it is backed with pinstripe material that is soft pink with darker pinstripes. Looks kind of like a bed sheet, or maybe very lightweight curtain material.
