i see lots of paisley fabric...
how do you feel about paisley?
love it/hate it or WHAT does it remind you of?

Oh I love it! I like the intricacies. Sometimes it looks almost mathematical. It just draws me in

there's such a variety out there lately, i was curious as to how people "view it"

I loooove paisleys!! But I don't see them often enough!
Where are you seeing them???

Paisleys are interesting. Sometimes they are hard to incorporate into my world. If I had to start with a paisley and build around it, I probably could. I would not run out to a store and specifically shop for it though.

Love them. There is such an enormous design variation.

They remind me of the 1960's

Love it. Just finished a full size quilt using a Moda layer cake called Prairie Paisley and it turned out great. It looks like civil war fabrics.

in my stash--not sure how they all crept in there, but they did!

i haven't gone out of my way for them, either, except for some reason, they have followed me home on more than one occasion!

I have always loved them, and I'm so glad to see them popular again. If my stash were not so overgrown, I'd be buying every one in sight!

did you post it here on the board?

I just love it and I do not know why just draws me to it

Especially love paisley fabs....

I go back an forth, sometimes i really like it and sometimes I think it looks too old fashioned. LOL So I guess I don't have a good answer either way!!

Cheers!

Love them and it reminds me of India, where the design comes from.

60's child I love it

I to love pasileys they can add so much interest to your quilt,

Yes, I adore paisley. My first business was painting freehand paisleys on ceramic cups and mugs. I was 16.

Now I'm a longarm quilter amd I often quilt freehand paisleys on client quilts. Funny huh?

I like paisley, I always have.

Love them. I just finished a throw for one of my sons and used them...no floral for them !

It reminds me of the 60's. Liked it then...not so thrilled with it now!

I love paisley fabrics. My favorite fabrics are all over packed prints and paisley
fills the bill.

I love paisley fabrics they just seem to go great with everything. When ever I need a bit more ....of something and can't quite put my finger on it.... its paisley to the rescue! I can never find enough!!

being a child of the 60's, paisleys were a big part of my wardrobe. still love paisleys.

I LOVE paisley fabrics! There are old fashioned ones and modern ones. I rarely see one I don't like!

never thought of them as masculine, most ones i've seen have some kind of floral with them OR, oddly enough, inside the paisley!

that's pretty neat!

Please, please, post a photo. I love paisleys and want to see how you used them. Back in the 50's when we all wore printed cotton skirts, I had a green paisley skirt. I would love to have that fabric now.

I love paisley -- it seems to multiply whenever I go to my LQS :)

Love the paisley - but I prefer the more subdued ones - not the bright and in your face ones.

Love, love it. Reminds me of being a teenager and still able to wear miniskirts.

I love it too!

I know a couple of people who hate them, but I just love them!!!

I have always loved paisley - the designs, colors just call me and I have quite a collection. Seldom use it in quilts. I call them my pretties.

Love, love paisley! Have a book on the history of paisley ... and one of my friends bought me beautiful paisley wrapping paper.... haven't wrapped anything in it as I love to look at it and study the patterning!

My wife and I both love paisleys. They remind me of the 50's or the 60's. We have used them as focus fabric for one quilt, border and backing fabric for two quilts, and also used them in smaller quantities in at least two others.

I find myself drawn to them. I am not sure why but I almost always find the paisleys and buy some.

Don't think I've ever seen a paisley that I didn't love.

Love it love it love it....did I mention how well I liked it?
