So even with shipping costs, shopping from US sellers has been *very* worthwhile. One source I particularly like is Fabric Shack, where they have 1/2 price USPS shipping, even for those of us who need international mailing. I hope this helps!Prof. S (the enchanted bobbin)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03469773781989607016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5212879416900607240.post-50836138508456932052011-10-29T23:20:19.942+01:002011-10-29T23:20:19.942+01:00Looks like fun.

Here is a flickr group that has been working on civil war quilts http://www.flickr.com/groups/civilwarquilts2011/<br /><br />Also Barbara Brackman http://barbarabrackman.blogspot.com/ and others have been doing reproduction civil war prints for Moda for a long time so you should be able to get nice reproduction fabrics from any of the shops which carry moda fabrics. Ms. Brackman also did some wonderful William Morris reproduction prints that probably would work too.Leannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16285223648285145607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5212879416900607240.post-65184756553457369612011-10-29T22:47:31.860+01:002011-10-29T22:47:31.860+01:00Have you tried ebay?
