I don't know if I'd worry about it but I would keep it for myself or someone else. The colors & picture are beautiful. As someone said "Send it to me if u don;t want it".

What I remember of '60's quilting was very traditional and drab. The fabrics and patterns were more like Civil War period than, say, the clothing styles that were popular at the time. It's as if people who did quilting were the kind who were eager to separate themselves from Madison Ave (and Carnaby Street). I agree that some of the fabrics now used in modern quilts are loud and splashy, suggestive of the big flowers and backdrops on Laugh-in, but I'm seeing a lot of diverse and creative stuff among these modern quilts. I used to think I didn't like modern styles, and some of them I don't. I just happen not to like orange and turquoise together, for example, and there seems to be an excess of ditsy prints that are cute for kids, but wouldn't fit in our retirement home very well. However, there really is something for everyone, and I am totally enjoying the link that Bluelady offered. Just look at this, for example, and tell me it isn't creative - I could never have come up with one like this: http://themodernquiltguild.com/2012/...tured-quilt-1/
