Lots of the new fabric looks like the 60's and 70's psychedelic fabric. I HATED it then and I HATE it now. I prefer older fabric even though I like some of the colors of the present. I am not fond of 30's prints; however, I can appreciate any fabric. When almost any fabric is used in a quilt, it seems to magically become lovely. The strip quilts in this thread are marvelous. I am going to use the 16 patch with mustard accents in a quilt that I was given a box of 2 inch squares. I already have a hundred or more 16 block squares made, and I have been waiting for a pattern to use for them.
