It was made some time in the 1970s and I bought it around 2012 I think. If you want to make a quilt out of those fabrics, ask someone who made quilts in the 1970s. That would not be me, though.

I have a bunch of double knit fabric left over from a family member's estate and I don't want to just throw it away. I've been told that a quilt made with double knit fabric will last forever, but I cannot transpose a 1/4" seam on cotton into double knit in my brain. Help! Books?

A very clever way to take advantage of the stretchy quality of the fabric.Bill Volckeninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02212965199140126299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-373996407183148608.post-19434495262190868372012-02-18T15:22:53.567-08:002012-02-18T15:22:53.567-08:00Wow!

It must have been very difficult to sew those hexagons together but the effect is like a ripple hexagon rim around rim around rim.
