| The red dress fabric was cut from a quilt top. It is from the 1880's-1910's. The dye to make this red color was called alizarin, which is the basis for a crimson paint color. This is different than madder, which was used to dye red fabric in previous decades. Alizarin reds are very bright. |

| This blue fabric used for Nancy's pocket and petticoat also came from a turn of the century quilt top. I think it is cadet blue, as opposed to indigo, which is darker. Indigo blues were still very popular between 1880 and 1910. |
