I was recently gifted a large box full of those 80's fabrics. Pinks, blues, greens and a few with yellow and red. I just made a quilt using them and I had a lot of fun making it. The pattern I saw on Quiltingboard.com and I modified it to make it mine. A different pink and blue for each flower and greens for background. I wish I could share a photo of this 80's revisited quilt. wildyardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09393581482576842878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-55084089875814723052013-06-29T20:12:22.049-04:002013-06-29T20:12:22.049-04:00That is the back of the quilt!

Anyway, I washed the whole thing (a big no no for keeping the sheen) and used it for a back on what is one of our favorite quilts done in Martinique by 3 Sisters. I worried that the pink didn't match the fabric of the quilt but went with it and it is just fine and it doesn't contrast at all and works really well together. I applaud you for your good advice!Sewing In CThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05300613226195215689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-29066778477457839752013-06-26T14:35:33.652-04:002013-06-26T14:35:33.652-04:00Looks great!!
