1920s Cotton Percale Quilt Fabric 2 + yards Bohemian Estate Collection

Bohemian prints from this era are highly sought after. These traditional designs from Europe flourished for a time with the influx of immigrants from Germany, Poland and Czechoslovakia.

Often called "gypsy prints" these pieces are jewels in the crown of a fabric collector.

This cotton sewing yardage has a print and color display that will make any quilter, clothing designer or textile collector green with envy! It is the very definition of true cotton percale with a tight weave, smooth finish. It has medium weight, is firm and smooth with no gloss. It washes very well.

The field is true white it is printed with a MARVELOUS print of the Bohemian designs so popular in the early 20's. There are CRAZY beautiful, paisley designs, and a wonderful, "evil eye". Fan shaped medallions and brilliant flowers spill across this fabric. It is marvelous.

The white field is printed in era specific color: Cornflower blue, crimson red, Paris green (CLASSIC 1920's green), maize yellow and true black.
