MISSISSIPPI 26848-LTBRO1

Reproduction prints c. 1840 by Sara Morgan. In the 19th century, when rivers were considered the ?highways? of America, the Mississippi River was an important pathway for the westward expansion of the U.S. The river became a vital trade route for all types of merchandise. All along the banks of the Mississippi were retailers who sold general goods, various mercantile and, of course, textiles, making quilting and home sewing more popular with easier accessibility to more fabrics. This particular collection features some of those period florals in the beautiful colors of the era, along with coordinating berries and stems, and tossed bouquets from one of Sara?s original vintage quilts of the Southern 1800s. Quilting fabric, 100% cotton material, 44/45" wide.
