Retrospective and Reprodution



In my new quilting class, we were given a magazine called McCall's Quilting. In it is the pattern for our first project. I don't really want to do the project and was struggling to find the right fabrics for it. The nice lady who sits beside me in class suggested that I do the pattern at the end of the book. I loved that idea. It uses retro fabrics, which are reproductions of fabrics used in the 1930's and 1940's. I have an odd connection to that time in America for some reason. I haven't figured out why as of yet. I have 4 blocks done so far. The project calls for 90. I will let you know how the quilt progresses.
