I have some fabric that dates to the early 1960's...and is a red "patchwork" paisley. Love this fabric and use it oh so sparingly (mostly in scrap quilts). Also have a tiny piece of this same fabric in a blue colorway. I'd love to have more of either color.
Somehow I am drawn to the "outdated" colors and patterns and from reading the other's comments, I am not alone.
Thanks for an interesting thread.
