I believe that most of those fabrics were sold at JoAnn's. I still have some! Some of them were terrific, some not so much. Kate's right, though: wash and dry them first, to see how they'll hold up, then make something lovely!

I have some of them in my stash. I have had no real problems with them. I bought them when I was relatively new to quilting but have other preference now but can find little fault with the quality. Jayne

I'd use the fabrics with no qualms at all. Concord Fabrics is a quality producer. I wouldn't expect any more bleeding or shrinkage than I would from a fabric from this year.

Thanks so much to all of you. I always wash before cutting so it will be interesting to see how all this stuff washes. It's not all Concord fabric, but I think is all 100% cotton. A few I'll have to do the burn test on. There are a couple of strange pieces (Concord) that are as stiff as lightweight cardboard. I've washed one piece and it's still stiff-almost crispy feeling-strange stuff.
Looking at all this fabric reminds me of an old fashioned looking traditional block quilt. I'll add it to my list od "to do's. I'd also like to try a rag quilt made wth calicos instead of flannel. I saw one in a magazine and it was very pretty.

does anyone have 5 yards of Joan Kessler floral print in blue/pink with ecru background for sale? there are muted yellow flowers as well.

I am also looking for a Joan Kessler fabric, large pink roses with a dark green background.

She was one of my favorites. I'd be interested in purchasing some from you. If you decide to sell the pieces, please let me know by email: lilysquilts@outlook.com. Thanks!

I you have any in the Ascot pattern in a red-orange color, I'd be interested in buying it from you.

Joan Kessler is my hands-down favorite designer of all time. GORGEOUS floral patterns. Would sure like to know if they go on sale on Etsy, Bonanza, eBay, etc. Thanks - lyndirosequilts

Looking for the Blue med floral, Joan Kessler, with cream ferns, fusia/burgundy floral, tan and lite teal flowers. Desperate for this fabric My 85 yr old mom made me a quilt, needs the binding. Thank you, deborahkhowell@sbcglobal.net

Just picked this up at a thrift store. It looks and feels like 100% cotton. I will check the breathability after washing/drying as I hope to use it for face masks for professionals. They seem to like the black/white masks most.

Hands down yes some of the best quality fabrics! I made quilts from these fabrics back in 80’s and my daughters are still using them today! My daughters are 40 and 46. Very good quality too! I never have washed or starched my fabrics but to each it’s own!

I have dress my grand ma had made from joan kessler material for the after party of my daughter when she was christened. shes now 30 years old the dress is still in brilliant condition and she looked so cute in it. its kept its colors very well after my 2 younger kid using it for years on teddies and dolls. now its back in the wardobe because they are older now. It is really good quality material.

In search of Joan Kessler fabric with blue ribbons and bows. I would like to use it as the background for a photo memory quilt that im making for a nine-year-old girl whose Dad passed away unexpectedly. Please email me at MizzLewis@msn.com if you have this fabric and are willing to sell it to me. I will also pay for shipping. Thanks!! Denise
