Grannies Patchwork

This machine printed cotton textile was manufactured in about 1970. In the 1970s, British consumers developed a nostalgic taste for crafts that were seen as traditional. The pattern of this textile creates a printed patchwork effect that appealed to people seeking a ‘folk’ look for their homes. This textile was sold in Habitat, a chain of shops which offered popular styles to 1970s customers at reasonable prices.
