These are some of the wonderful vintage triangle pieces I purchased on ebay last year. There were three sizes of triangles — this is about a third of the pinks in the medium size (2 1/2″ x 3 1/2″ x 4 1/4″). These were obviously swatches removed from salesman sample books, because some of them still have a bit of glue or paper on one end). I haven’t been able to find one duplicate print in the entire box of over 5,000 triangles — it’s pretty amazing. The green triangles in this size were posted earlier.
What fun treasure! So many pinks – I love how some seem to be variations of a pattern, but not duplicates. Can you imagine being a fabric designer and having to come up with different designs year in and year out?
Oh my gosh, what a wonderful find! I deal with period clothing, so just having that a resource for dating textiles would be a wonderful find. Thanks for posting it!
