Hi there, thinking of trying my hand at quilting and am very interested in making a “vintage ” quilt ( with reproduction fabric, as this is for a baby) . Any favorite places to purchase? I was looking to find American Jane, but most seem out of print. I also stumbled upon a website called Reproduction Fabrics.com. Does anyone have experience with purchasing from this company? What is the quality like? Any advice is much appreciated! Purl

Most quilt shops nowadays carry a nice selection of repro fabrics. Search online and see if there are any near you. I like http://www.fatquartershop.com when I order online. At the top, hover over SHOP BY THEME and then choose 1900’s Reproduction. They seem to have a nice selection right now.

Have fun! I love quilting!

Oh, meant to say I have never ordered from the company you mentioned, but Fat Quarter Shop only carries high quality quilting cottons. Very nice weight and hand.

Also, just like O+S fabrics, quilting cottons are only available until supplies run out. Popular lines sell out quickly, but new lines are always coming out. I love Moda, so I am always checking their site to see what is coming out soon.

Oh thank you , thank you, thank you! I was on their site and only typing in 1930’s in the search, not realizing I should look under theme. Thank you for your help! I have to get through my son’s school days coat , bu am already dreaming about my first quilt. Can’t wait to buy fabric for it! Purl

Have you checked fabric.com? They have about every collection there ever was or is, combined with great prices, free shipping and usually a coupon to be found somewhere. You can search by maker, such as Moda, or collection, or theme. One nice feature of their website is the “design wall”. You can group all the fabrics you’re interested in, and see how they will look with each other, which is great for designing a quilt. Here’s some sweet vintage style ones http://www.fabric.com/SearchResults2.aspx?Source=Header&SearchText=aunt+grace&CategoryID=1d5f47dc-9991-4088-93f3-26a376046a5e and http://www.fabric.com/SearchResults2.aspx?Source=Header&SearchText=flea+market+fancy&CategoryID=1d5f47dc-9991-4088-93f3-26a376046a5e also check out this http://www.fabric.com/baby-children-39-s-sale.aspx?cm_re=SL1-_-home-_-Baby%20Childrens%20Sale
