missgigglewings, none of those look like 30s repros to me but people define them a bit differently. If you keep an eye on the Dear Jane threads, you'll see a few people using them in their blocks, mine included. Jennifer is using some for her blocks and I can get names of others for you if you'd like. The easiest way to get them is by checking with your local quilt shop. They generally have a section set aside for these fabrics. You can go online if you prefer...several members would be happy to point you in the right direction online.

I'm not signing up, as I'm in the big cyber sew and feel overcommitted. I did want to comment - muslin does not hold up as well as cotton quilting fabric. You might want to reconsider...you'll get a crisper nice looking block with the WOW...but that's my opinion, and I'm not doing the swap.

Oooooh :cry: I was hoping this swap would be a block or two a month. I will have to sit this one out. I have a major project that will be neglected if I try to do this.

Have fun, everyone! :D

Hi, sorry none 30's prints? You can check on ebay to look at them and get an idea on what they are..

Did ya'll see where Connecting Threads has their 30's repro fabrics on 50% off? They are Mama's Cottons 2. That makes them less than $3 a yard.

This CAN be true...there are several qualities of muslin. Some are more like starched cheesecloth and some are equal to quality quilting cottons. You just have to make sure you buy a good quality muslin. Like RocLon brand for instance.

I'm totally in!! I'll probably do 4-8 sets, but I am unsure as to which ones...I think I will play with the patterns and then decide which I like best...is that OK???
LOVE this idea!! I have been waiting for something to use my 30's repro's on! Yippee!
