Here's the last of the lot:
And here are a couple of details:
The blue-green fingerprint with the occasional black dot is glazed, which gives it a wonderful crispness. And it is vintage--exactly what vintage, I don't know, but it was well-aged when I got it years ago at Beverly Hills Silks & Woolens. BHS&W was a set decorator's paradise where bark cloth and 36"-wide fabric, as well as almost anything else you fancied, could still be found on the bolt. The other fingerprint fabric is an African Dutch wax print. I like the two together--the fingerprint collection.
I love this quilt.
ReplyDeleteHave you ever noticed the amazing fabrics of hospital gowns? Great vintage-y old-men's-pajamas prints that you never see anywhere else.
