underground railroad sampler fabric

Post by helen » Tue Feb 17, 2009 1:08 am

Dear patchwork Ladies!
Would one of you kind ladies know which was the fabric used for the border in EB's Underground Railroad Sampler (cover of the book and page 8)??? I have the book, but it is mentionned nowhere and unfortunately at QIAD they don't know it either.
Thank you for your kind help!

Helen- Under the Swaps there is a group that is doing the Underground Railroad (look for UGRR). They would love to help you! The exact fabric may no longer be available, however there are sevreal manufactures of 1860 reproduction fabric. I can think of Marcus Bros and Windham. There are some web sites that sell reproduction fabric.
One is: http://www.bonniebluequilts.com/'>http: ... uilts.com/
