I'm guess y'all like this choice? I actually have 3 bundles of it and just never figured out what to do.... so I'll unleash it on the unsuspecting boomers (insert evil laugh movie track)

I'm thinking that I would like to have black used with it....
Opinions? This would be great to have appliques of peace signs, VW bugs, rainbow, Peter Max style (oh if you don't know who that is, think "Lisa Frank" of the 60's ) , etc ...
Have you seen the silhouette in black? How about a black cat on it? "Make love not war" sayings... oooo check out "tye dye posters" if you want more ideas....
I might have to dig out some bell bottoms for this round (no hip huggers cuz my hips would be muffins)

Thanks for the welcome! Seems funny to say that in my own swap but I mean it.
So I've been mulling themes. Do I send more of my "ugly greys" that some of you made beautiful in Boom 16? Or there's this beautiful floral fabric I saw last week at an LQS? What do I do? Then, not 20 minutes ago, my darling son, the youngest who will be 30 at the end of this year, texts me and says, "I'm still waiting for my full size dino blanket". Both boys had a dinosaur blanket, crib sized that I sewed and hand-tied with yarn when I barely knew how to sew. My son informed me he's a lot bigger now than he used to be. Yeah, 6'3". And he sends a pic of some "dino" fabric he just saw at Hobby Lobby with his GF. He tells me he's serious. Soooo...I wonder if this should be my theme? A dinosaur quilt for my soon to be 30 year old? Queen-sized too I've been informed. OMG. The nerve but it would be so fun for me. Maybe flannel-backed???

I so love this idea and any 30 yer old that would want this is pretty awesome in my book.

I know! And he's the non-sentimental, stoic one. That's what makes this so funny.
