Teapots and Butterflies

I found two fun fabrics on a pieced squares scrap quilt.  This is another from the family collection that I have been repairing.   See - Whirling Hexagons and Log Cabin and Capital S.

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.

    Yes, 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. ;-)
