Many are original 50s Lucienne Day, Marian Mahler and Jaqueline Groag fabrics. (none are reproductions)
Although they look a bit of a clash together, I feel it's something I want to do so I can enjoy them all instead of them being in a suitcase! Here are some photos of the initial stages - laying them out to see what could work together. Next stage is washing them all by hand, ironing them and cutting them into exact squares. I shall keep you posted on my progress - it might take a while as I've got my fingers in lots of pies!

Oh, that's just wonderful! I picked up some vintage fabrics too and am also thinking about making a quilt. The top I can deal with... it's the rest that's causing me a headache ;-)
Enjoy your Sunday,
Esther.
Oh Jane that quilt is going to be amazing! I'm in the process of cutting squares for a quilt at the moment, it is such fun laying them out in different patterns and colour combinations. I totally agree, it;s nice to be able to enjoy looking at all my fabrics instead of them all lurking in piles in my cupboard. Looking forward to seeing the finished quilt! Rachel x
Browsing Etsy, thought this had to be something for you: http://www.etsy.com/listing/69694301/sunny-side-up-mod-daisy-vintage-fabric

Ooo that will look gorgeous! And it'll be super special too, having all your favourite fabrics in it. I look forward to seeing it when it's done

It is an awesome idea, I just watched a quilting show where this woman made a sampler quilt of every single pattern she ever used , so this quilt became a record of all of her patterns.
Yes, it'll be similar to the previous comment!
Hi Jane
Looks beautiful - I've been doing the very same (but with cushion covers) - fantastically absorbing and addictive!

Fantastic!
Oooh I love it already. Can't wait to see it progress.
HI, what can I say it is going to look amazing! I made a quilt by hand a few years ago... it took a year! BUT I was and still am very proud of it. I love the colours and print of your little stash! I can't wait to see its progress! All best crafty wishes Vintage Betty Zee x
