Of the quilts I viewed online, I couldn't tell for sure that I was sometimes seeing dots. (I love dots) Unfortunately, I did not think to take another peek at the Jane Austen quilt!!<br />Seems like too often it is not possible to increase the size of the online image enough to be able to see positively what is printed on the fabrics. Then there is the image resolution (# of pixels) which can also be a problem.quiltergirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14835189636035771531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5707021605394151966.post-13492477512811785482012-02-12T09:27:47.375-06:002012-02-12T09:27:47.375-06:00Look at the sashing in the Jane Austen quiltLook at the sashing in the Jane Austen quiltBarbara Brackmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07948219446078848778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5707021605394151966.post-6545980304829394652012-02-12T09:26:20.730-06:002012-02-12T09:26:20.730-06:00Re polka dots--they are so easy to print they were...Re polka dots--they are so easy to print they were definitely among the early prints.

If so, was it a single color or dot on a light ground, or vice-versa? And, were the dots typically round, or maybe elliptical?
