As a collector, one of the most highly prized Lilly Pulitzer items is one which is made in a multipatch fabric.  Multipatch fabrics combine the best of a seasons prints in a collection which blends easily together.  The different fabric samples can be printed on cotton poplin, or they can actually be pieces of different fabrics sewn together. 

This guide describes multipatch fabrics from 2003 and prior.  Since only ten pictures are allowed in a guide I will have to break my guide into different parts.

It is my hope to present a complete list of multipatch fabrics to help collectors identify their fabrics.  If you have a sample of a multipatch fabric which I have not listed, I would be delighted to include it in my guide.  Please contact me at my user id.  This guide is still under construction.  If you found it helpful, please click on the "Yes" button.  To continue to Part two, please follow this link:  Multi Patch Part 2.  Thank you.
