Red poppy vintage fabric, 1.8 yards of 1940s floral cotton for upholstery, order home decor

order Fabrics like this one make me love vintage textiles. The colors on this piece are bright and saturated. Scarlet, crimson, maize, forest, and taupe, all on an ivory ground. The weave is raised and textured. It's a loose weave and I'm pretty sure there's linen in the mix. This 68 by 46 inch piece was sewn lengthwise at some point in its life, but it doesn't appear to have been a curtain. There's a little fading to the green leaves on one edge, but the blossoms are knockout bright.
