Love them, but so many people hate them vehemently! It would be an interesting study to figure out why some people like certain things and other people hate them. I've never liked Grandmother's Flower Garden pattern, but it is much loved by nearly everyone else.

Loved that fabric line. That designer just released another collection that used the same color palette and a lot of the same designs. If you wanted to get more. :lol:

Thanks Maribeth, I will be on the lookout for that. I have another layer cake of the same line so I'm sure I'll be making something else soon with it. I'll try and take a picture and post it tomorrow.

I always figured the paisley patterns were old----------like really old. 1960 was just yesterday!

I am planning a whole quilt with a blue/bacl paisley background and am so excited to cath up on the stuff I have so I can start.

for some reason paisley reminds me of my grandmother. Especially purple and gold. lol She had a silky shirt that she just loved that was purple with goldish color in it. lol

I have never purchased paisley!
