This is a really lovely quilt. the blocks have that overall hexagon feeling and I love the colours.

I was looking at a quilt from the 50s yesterday. It contains fabrics we'll probably never see again OR if someone reproduces it we'll pay quite a lot for them.

Even though you had non-cotton to work with it must have been fun to work with something so 'retro'. the 70s are back in, I think, or maybe we're back to the 80s. LOL

Very inspiring to see this picture.
