    Yes, fabric was limited but solid colors were available as yardage.

    Just read my first novel by Jennifer Cheverrini sp? "A Quilter's Legacy." Your heirloom quilt sure made me think of that story. Treasure that well made quilt!

    A beautiful treasure and a great scrappy quilt. Wouldn't be that hard to make - a lot of cutting curved pieces though.

    I believe that green was known as 'poison green'. The print fabrics look to be from the 20's so yeah the quilt is closer to 100 then not even if it was made in the 30's or 40's. Beautiful treasure

    This is beautiful. I can't believe no one wanted it and aren't you the fortunate one. Good thing because you already appreciate it. She knew it would be in good hands with you.

    Poison green was a popular color then as was bubble gum pink! This might be too bright, pg is usually a bit muddier, but whatever, it is a treasure from the past..and some of those petals could be from feed sacks. It is beautiful--- make sure you get names and dates as best as you can for the historical record of it, and also get it appraised....best gift ever!
