Old Fashioned Calicos Fabric Collection by Barbara Brackman from Moda Fabrics, a Range of the Individual Fabrics

Reproduction prints are Barbara Brackman’s specialty. In this collection she’s reproduced classic mid-20th century prints, fabrics she and her generation stitched into their first quilts in the 1960s and 1970s. You may remember these florals from your own scrapbag when fabric was 36” wide and cost about 36 cents a yard (Barbara has to admit she remembers it all!) Or you might recall a patchwork cat or a baby quilt pieced by your grandmother forty years ago. Now you can recreate the look in two distinct colorways, nostalgic brights echoing the red, green and yellows of classic applique or toned-down florals reflecting the quilt revival of the 1970s.

We offer our fabrics in Fat Quarter Units. The minimum cut quantity is 1 Fat Quarter. 

If you are purchasing more than 1 Fat Quarter (more than 1 unit) then you need to increase the number of units to suit how much fabric you need. For example 4 units will be 1 metre of fabric, which we will send as 1 piece of uncut fabric, unless otherwise requested in the order. List of units to width is:

• 2 units - ½ metre x the width of the bolt
• 4 units - 1 metre x the width of the bolt
• 6 units - 1 ½ metres x the width of the bolt
• and so on

If purchasing an odd number of Fat Quarters (units) such as 3, 5 or 7 units etc. then we will be send the fabric as 1 piece plus 1 Fat Quarter (unless otherwise requested) eg:

• 3 units - 0.50m + 1 fat quarter
• 5 units - 1.00m + 1 fat quarter
• 7 units - 1.50m + 1 fat quarter
• and so on

Fat Quarters – approximately  50cm x 56cm  / 20” x 22”

Fat Quarters are a 50cm length which is (times the width of the bolt) which is split in halfway along the width to give 56cm/22”

Some fabrics may have slightly different dimension due to the width of different bolts of fabrics.
