Wow, the picture of the groovy fabrics that go with it are really great! I would probably use some of the flowers in the prints as my inspiration and applique in strategic places around the quilt. I made a groovy quilt using photos transferred to fabric. My kids had been in a dance, and I made headbands and flowers for the girls, then used those in a quilt after the show. My quilter used echo quilting, flowers and swirls to quilt it up, and we love it!

when I bought my home in1973, both bathrooms and the kitchen had different wallpaper with white, green, yellow and orange flowers. The sent FQ's are pretty, I do not see how you can go wrong using the fabric she sent you, it will all tie in together...

Colors of the 70's
Bright pinks
orange
green
purple
tie dyed
yellow's
I remember there was a craze at one time in making paper flowers from tissue paper. I made some. Big and bright as far as flowers.
If that sunflower is suppose to represent the 70's it needs some pizzaz.
Clothes did not match back then, tye dyed t shirts and either bell bottoms, elephant legs (wide bell bottoms) afro style hair, no bras..favorite expression "Peace"
45 records
Beatles, Rolling Stones to name a few
but, bright colors,
Best to ask the person that sent you this sunflower, does she want subdued, or mod

One of the big jokes about the 60's was: if you remember them, you weren't there :)
Oh, but we're talking about the 70's. Try this site:

I would definitely choose the "Groovy Prints" fabric <peace signs>
