She raised a rebel, no matchy, matchy. It is so bright and happy. I love the scrappy binding.

I think it is beautiful bright and cheery. I can not relate to the story as far as my age goes, but the colors seem to go together well.

I was a child of that era -- born in '40, teen in the 50's. I know exactly what you mean. Only problem with me was: I loved those no-no combinations! I had a favorite skirt which was chartreuse (I think it's now called lime green). Well, I wore a pair of red shoes with it and something red pinned onto my blouse or a red neckerchief (remember those?) My dear best friend was a matchy-matchy person and would call me down on my mismatched outfit. I also loved turquoise (my favorite color of all times) combined with "fuchia" (a red violet -- much of which we see in fabrics and decor today). I liked certain pinks with certain reds. AND I like brown and black together. I realize I must have been considered such a weirdo. When I studied art in college, we worked with combining colors. My professor would always mention my "flare" {{{{snicker,, snicker}}}} for colors. I never knew if she was poking fun or speaking truthfully. Of course I didn't care either way. I'm glad that some of those fifties color combos are back, but the seventies designs can go. (My own opinion of course D

I'm drawn to brighter colors the older I get. I think my grandma would have approved of your pretty quilt. She always wore pretty, bright clothes and encouraged me to do the same!

I remember those color rules also, I also remember pondering the fact that nature did not follow those rules and had great success in creating beauty. I could not for the life of me understand why blue and green could not go together. I also remember when my mother showed me a cover of, I think, Life magazine with models wearing blue and green together saying see now we can wear blue and green together. I looked at the blue bachelor buttons in the garden and snorted, I was ever tactful as a child. I also remember when our health class teacher who also doubled as the boys PE teacher told me in class that stripes, my blouse, and tweed, my skirt, did not go together. I also remember my trip to the principals office for replying " since when were you elected fashion director of Newport Oregon?" As I said ever tactful and demure. I felt vindicated a month later when he and the girls PE teacher ran off together, both were married to other people...it was a big scandal. I just laughed when I heard,and said, "I knew he had bad taste" As I said tactful and sweetly forgiving.....I will bet where ever they are today one of them is wearing stripes and plaids in blue and green. Here you need to know I am laughing still but in a sweet, demure, tactful manner.
