Pint-Sized Neutrals: A Quilter’s Essential
Neutral fabrics are the quiet heroes of quilting—blending, softening, and adding balance to even the most vibrant designs, also called shirtings. Our new **Pint-Sized Neutrals** collection features a variety of small-scale prints in warm creams, soft taupes, and classic ivories. These subtle designs work beautifully for backgrounds, sashing, or adding a touch of vintage charm. We have added this line to our 1865 to 1900 section. Here's a video of Margo talking about this line! Can you tell she's excited?

The Importance of Shirtings in Quilting & Historical Fabric

Shirtings feature small/medium motifs on a light background. Used for men's shirts as well as children's clothing in mid-to-late 19th Century, they found a new niche for women's blouses. As young women got out of the house more (1870-90s) and participated in sports...sailing, golfing, tennis and bicycling....there was a need for women's sportswear. Novelty prints were especially fun for women's blouses.

Left overs from garments made their way into the quilts of the times. Depending on your economic status...you might have purchased yardage just for your quilt project. Most our shirtings can be found in our 1865 section of our website. We also have several shirtings bundles, a great way to build those fabric stashes with this important fabric!

Margo discusses the importance of Shirtings in quilting and historical fabrics.
