Dating Fabrics 2 - A Color Guide 1950 -2000 by Eileen Jahnke Trestain

Revisit an era when quiltmaking changed from private bed covers to public works of art.

• Over 1,000 fabric swatches - from poodle skirts of the 1950's to baby doll dresses of the 1990's, the fabrics of everyday life are featured in this handy book.
• Reproduction fabrics guide - An informative section on the fabrics from the 1980 -2000 era provides a blueprint for building confident conclusions as to the fabrics origins. The book's inner spiral binding makes the pages lie flat, and makes it easier to compare photos to fabrics.
• Quilting and clothing Trends - This sequel is ideal for students of fashion and collectors of recent quilts, which often contain fabrics from more than one decade.
• Accurate identification - Prints are shown actual size, with fabric lines and styles grouped by date and color. Dating divisions are highlighted by an informative history of each era.
