Fabric number one - turquoise teapots.
Placing the teapots with these gentle florals and the little birds in a flowering tree (upper right) make this part of the quilt feel like a country cottage.
Fabric number two - butterflies.
Apple green and brilliant yellow on a red pillow ticking print! Now there's a sunny day for you! Not to mention a popular new color choice in the late 60s and on into the 70s. My 8th grade graduation dress, 1968, was this green with yellow and bright pink flowers. Yup.
I cannot bring myself to love that apple green. But it is cheerful, I'll give it that. :)
ReplyDeleteYes, it's a pretty astonishing color combination, for sure. I guess it helps that I do remember when that green was considered a really groovy color. ;-)
