The Swatch Book Collection came about after a 100-year-old swatch book fell into the hands of the Iowa Quilt Museum. Their dream for a new line based on these swatches became a reality! What a beautiful grouping of classic blues and white shirtings!💙 We have fat quarter bundles and yardage available. We also have a quilt kit using the church dash “convenience cloth”. Purchasing options are available in store and online: https://thewoolenneedle.com/product-category/quilting/fabric/windham/swatch-book/
