Whee! Sounds exciting. :)And yes, even with bargain fabric, you need to take great care to make sure that you get it right for you.I have fabric that has been maturing in the stash for over 25 years because it hasn't quite met the pattern it wants me to make out of it yet. :)And to you. Sounds like you have a nice relaxing plan there.

Clerks in the 40s in NYC have been known to reply "cotton" when I ask "what is this" (when it's an uncommon weave)
