You're my only hope, O..B..W..
#1
You are my only hope, Oh Board of Wonders! I am participating in my guilds Round Robin and for the 3rd round I got a center start that has sunflowers (original) with a large round brown border around it (second round). The hint was that the quilt will be her daughter's graduation (from HS) present and "she would like a 70s look." What does that mean???? I have searched the internet and find that it can mean just loud/bright colors, in a patchwork pattern. HELP!
Any one know what "the 70's look" is in quilting? Sorry -- I was busy having my last baby and raising kids during that decade...remember Sesame Street and Wide World of Sports. Any body??? You really are my only hope. Maybe now I can go to sleep...

Think John Travolta and Saturday Night Fever, hot pants, floppy hats, tie dye, the "me" generation, and watch "That 70's show" a few times. Might get some ideas there. I would try to find some tie dye fabric (maybe in batik type fat quarters) and go on quilterscache for a block you think is appropriate. Good luck, and don't forget to show the finished round. Incidentally, I wouldn't use any solid bright colors that might clash with something else. 70's was more hippy than that. Streakers, blue jeans, etc. I know you said you were busy raising your kids back then, but I plead the 5th as to what I was busy doing. :P

BTW, the owner also included some fat quarters of materials, greens, brown, oranges, and other assorted prints. Maybe in the morning I will take a pic for further clarification. Thanks ladies!
