There were some really bad looking fabrics in the early 1980's when I made this quilt (or maybe I had really bad taste). Many of my early projects look so dated now. There's no need to check the label for a date ~ those calicoes scream 1980!

Oh they're so so sweet and pretty. I love them. They really DO NOT scream 1980. Lovely work and pretty pretty hearts.
ReplyDeleteWhat a snuggly quilt.
They may be dated - they may be ugly - and they may scream 80's =- but they still make lovely quilts! I love all the little hearts. I've run across lots and lots of similar scraps while making my crumb chaos quilts.
ReplyDeleteI love this quilt...oh the fabrics are just so fun to look at.
ReplyDeleteI like that quilts show their age to us by the style and fabric choices.
To me it lets us know how much we have grown as quilters!
I really enjoy seeing your quilts. You must have some collection of quilts. Each quilt is a treasure to you I bet.

This quilt is gorgeous, the fabrics are perfect and today we are looking for these as vintage fabrics that we can't seem to find, because they are expensive repros now. I know at least 80 quilters who would gladly take that quilt off your hands, you dont know what you have.
ReplyDeleteawwww...i love that quilt!! the hearts and the fabric..it all goes very well together! and i don't think it screams 80's at all. :) or, if it does, not in a bad way.
ReplyDeleteIt's a darling quilt and a wonderful record of your quilting history . . . I only wish I had been quilting back then *s*
ReplyDeleteHey, I know some of those fabrics! They are in my quilts, to! Your hearts are charming... looks like a good project to tote around with you and stitch on whenever you have time. Thanks for sharing it!
