That 1920s look...
 
I've been trying to design a few quilts that have that 1920s look. So far, I've been able to find some vintage fabrics and make a couple, but I'm wondering...what styles, colors, prints were in vogue back then? You don't see much about that era in quilting. It's usually, "civil war," or "Victorian," or 1930s.

Thanks Sammie1. Pink, combined with grey comes to mind. Also, a soft baby blue was used a lot back then. I've found a striped fabric (sorry, I can't remember all of the colors,) that was distinctively 20s. Mauve is another color, but I hate mauve.
