1980's colors
 

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

(I couldn't begin to count how many bolts of country blue pindot fabric I used up making items for craft shows back then!)

And tonight I got to wondering...

Have you used any fabrics in those colors in 2011?

No I haven't!!

dont think so i was born in the 1980s so dont realy remember what was all the rage then.

Havent used any in a long time but still have large scraps of both in my stash!

I stick them in the scrap quilts that I make and it just doesn't matter. I also used dusty blue bias binding to bind a scrap quilt, a baby quilt and a bunch of bibs because I had mega metres of it. I still have some and I don't mind the colour of it and the babies don't complain either.

No, I didn't use any of those colors recently. But, do I ever remember that country blue pindot and little hearts fabrics! I had those colors in my home and I don't think I ever liked them as well as earth tones, but just had to have them!! More memories!

Yes, I used some of the dusty blue in a scrap quilt that was all blues. I, for one, still love those colors.

So funny you brought this up. I just used Country Blue Pindot to back a Quilt for Kids.

I've used those colours in scrappy projects but not as the feature fabric in any projects.

Other reminiscences of the eighties .... hunter green and burgundy
