American Retro c. 1945

Think back to the simple days of bobby socks and dates at the soda fountain; pajama parties and dance marathons. America was migrating to the suburbs in numbers never before seen.

Colors in this period became vibrant and full of life as America moved out of the depression with its eye on victory in the war in Europe. Taking its cue from delightful kitchen textiles to stylish apparel, American Retro combines fashion vogue from this bygone era into a collection for the modern quilter.
