A fabricaholic of yesteryear, from the Clues in the Calico Club online archive.

Now up at the Clues in the Calico online club: everything you ever wanted to know about antique chintz. Members can read about its exotic history (including several stints as a contraband item), how to identify it, clues that will help you date antique chintz quilts, and how to shop for reproduction chintzes. As always, Barbara leavens her facts and dates with fascinating tidbits of social history that help bring old quilts and fabrics alive.
