An Unrelated Thing

Once the trend caught on to the point that manufacturers were confident it would stick, they started making fabrics in an even wider variety of patterns and colors:

They even gave instructions on how to remove the ink, if you didn’t like the pattern:

I found one in a thrift/junk store in Idaho last month. I was so happy to find one, though I have seen plenty of quilts made from them before, I never had one of my own to craft with.

My Grandma just gave me two of these with the labels still on.  I would never dream of cutting one up - I can’t believe they were still intact!
