I haven't used those colors, but the dusty sage and dusty peach wound up in a quilt (and also in curtains and towels and place mats and... way back when.). Nothing recently, though.

I just finished a scrappy and used some of the blue pindot...it was the right color to work...
I used an awful lot of those colors on crafts back then, too....

Once upon a time, "Country Blue" and "Dusty Rose" were all the rage.

::sigh:: does this make me old that I not only remember those colors but would use those in a quilt? I don't know that I picked up any recently. However I did buy a sweater that is a "dusty rose" color (because it would go with just about everything).

Used both in several quilt tops I pieced together for Project Linus mostly mixed with other colors.

Hold on long enough and it will come back into style! It won't be long and folks will wonder what they were thinking when they used batiks in quilts.

After that came the sand, peach and seafoam green

Sure, a prayer quilt for church. The recipient loves it. Definitely not my colors, but i muddled through. My first quilt and it had partial seams. Dingbat!
