Thanks for the link, Snoopdog. I'm torn between thinking that I should keep my doubts about the pumpkin print quietly to myself, and wanting to scream that she might be wrong.
I asked our local quilt store owner what she thought about the pumpkin print. She's owned the store for 30 years. Here's what she said.
"Interesting that the rest of it has decomposed but this patch hasn't! It makes me think that the quilt patch is maybe from the 60's when polyester blends were starting to be used. They don't break down as easily as cottons ( my 40+year old sheets are testament to that theory! Lol.). The pattern seems to me from about that era too. "
Well, that's just a anecdotal opinion, fwiw. But she does have a lot of experience with fabric.
If the fabric was old stock, then perhaps it was selling a lot cheaper than some of the other fabrics in the store and was therefore a popular choice with customers?
