My aunts worked in the "pajama factory" in McMechen WV mid-century. Morgan Shirt operated in Morgantown, WV, Best Inc. in Terra Alta, WV (where I worked awhile), also locally, Grantsville, MD and a few others whose names I do not know. It's fun to see a quilt and guess from the relation of the fabrics that it was made from cut aways. I found a couple of unquilted tops in a box of rags in Somerset Co. PA and recognized them right away as scrap from the local shirt factory. <br /> What fun to pass by the cutting table after working hours where layer after layer of goods were topped with a carefully arranged pattern ready to be cut through by the big blade. The stacked waste pieces were as small as possible and the unusual shapes challenged the quiltmaker.The Green Heronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16136376158390379125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-289466493716180465.post-84325687778260283262018-04-06T07:01:08.813-05:002018-04-06T07:01:08.813-05:00I remember my gramma, who lived in Arkansas and St...I remember my gramma, who lived in Arkansas and St. Louis for most of her life, and who was always poor, getting cutaways in the late 1960's. She lived in northern Indiana at the time, but "sent away for them" (I don't know from where). They were mostly the same print in different colors, in very odd but regular shapes. She made quilts like this; ANYthing was put together. She started me on my first quilt (9 patch) when I was 11. Thanks for this post, Barbara; made me think of her!
