groovy



A few years ago  ( make that months) I would never have considered buying 1970s polyester knit quilts or quilt tops.



Only pure cotton or wool for me. But, somehow, my mood has changed and I am drawn towards the vivid exuberance and almost folk art quality of this era of quilting.


The makers felt liberated, no need for matching seams and fiddly bits, no unraveling of the fabric. Strong and bold was the order of the day.


But, as usual,  it seems I am late to the party.......see here also.

PS...above all in my etsy shop

  1. One thing about these quilts - they will outlive us all. Have to love the bright colours though.
