I'm getting ready to take a class at my LQS. It is machine applique and we're using A Thirties Treasure pattern. Thirties colors are a bit muted for my taste and I would like to use bright colors and a black background. What do you all think, should I stick with the thirties colors?

do you have a pic of the pattern - nothing came up on google that matched that name

enjoy the class

I will use my colors. Thanks Klu!

I'm not a fan of 30s fabric either. Too dainty. The pattern would look great with any contrast. I can see it with batics on the black. Yum!

Be sure to send a pic when you are done!!
Good luck & enjoy the class.

Do what you like! I think it will be awesome with the brighter colors.

I'm with MadQuilter on this one - I think bright batiks or just brights on black would look stunning.

Look forward to seeing your progress. :D
