Isn't this piece of vintage fabric beautiful? It's circa 1930-50s
Each scene is approximately 3" square, so it's quite appropriate that I should find this after my post about scraps yesterday.
I was originally drawn to it by its colour-ways. I have a bit of a penchant for a red and aqua combination.
And then the wheel cogs began to turn in my brain when I thought how perfect this was for using in pieces. Maybe a scene could be a centre of a log cabin...maybe a whole row could be a detail on a cushion or throw...a scene alone would make a stunning card.
I'm surprised that nobody else had snapped up this little beauty...although not so little...33 x 52"...so lots of potential for lots of mini projects...in fact, I've just thought of another one...
(Btw I bought it right here...go check out Jo's fantastic vintage Etsy store and grab yourself something fabulous)

That is a fantastic find Karen! I just love that colour combination too. I've been wanting to use those colours ever since I saw the Tower Bridge over Christmas ;) Have fun making :) Kx
