In those days I belonged to "Another Mother for Peace." The logo was a sunflower with the saying, "War is not healthy for children and other living things." It still seems relevant in these times.

I would try for a converted school bus that was painted with slogans, signs, tie-dye colors, rainbows, suns, and such

What would a 70's quilt be without "peace, love and Bobby Sherman"? LOL

Erstan 947 beat me to it. Those suggestions are great.

tortoisethreads...thanks for that link...I grew up in the 60's & hated the peace symbols/flower child/etc. at the time(like erstan947 I too was just born "old")....but looking at the sample they showed there brought back lots of good memories... :thumbup: Naomi

Leisure suits, best represented by double knits

Come to think of it, I think the quilt made entirely of double knits that my husband's Grandmother made for him is still around. Those things just don't wear out. (I graduated from high school in 1976)
