Answer to the Win This Vintage Fabric Contest

CONTEST ANSWER:
The name of the red and white 1960s vintage fabric is:

"Whipped Creme" and also known as "Whipped Cream"

So called because the fabric has a subtle ripply, crepe appearance similar to whipped cream.

Thanks to entrants for entering the contest.

On Monday the fabric will be added to the website. More fun contests in the future!
