OMG, Tracy!! You nailed it! I am a child of the 70s and I love this quilt. Wouldn't the world be a happier place covered in these quilts!?! I am going to try to tackle this one for sure! ❤❤❤ Thank you so much for sharing your pattern.

[@ChristineKrannich]

Catching up on older videos I missed. This is so cute!!!

[@glynisreynolds446]

Every time you see this quilt it’s going to brighten your day 🥰🤩🇬🇧

[@TheSewingChannel]

Yes it will for sure Glynis.....It's truly a happy quilt LOL😆

[@eavesdroppin1]

This was the first quilt book I bought in 1979 (along with 5 detailing other crafts). I didn't get into real quilt making until the 1990's when I was able to take classes. I know this would be an exciting quilt for my youngest granddaughter who is 11. 1970's flower power would be perfect! Interesting to see others who have this book, especially the ones who bought it new!

[@margaretbeard6564]

Haha, I grew up in the 70's in California..perfect!

[@sherrimorris1067]

I can hear the Patridge Family singing when I look at this quilt! Groovy!.✌

[@helenecaron6853]

Wow! You did a very very good job on your 1970 flower….👍🏆🥇🙏🏼

[@AnitaSouthall]

Thanks for your special quilt tutorial, as a child of the 1960's and 70's I don't think we realised how special that time was. Your quilt reminded me of the dresses my mum used to make me. I still love flowers and paisley prints. How awesome would a layer of paisley petals look I wonder . 🇦🇺💜🇺🇲💚👍🖐😊

[@TheSewingChannel]

Paisleys would be amazing💛

Thank you so much for the great feedback!💛 This quilt definitely came through with the "groovy" vibe🥳

[@karenbecker7978]

I got blessed with this book at a Saver's thrift store just yesterday. Has some super quilts in it. Like all of them. I really like the Star of Bethlehem, Lonestar, curtains and the puff quilt. The flower patterns are different than the one you have but the same idea. Thanks for calling attention to this book.

[@aprilscraftroom]

I LOVE the raw edge applique. Great quilt - it looks great. You have a great eye. April

[@lupie4596]

If I could give you more than one thumbs up I would. Absolutely love the quilt. I have always loved primary and jewel toned colors so your quilt speaks to me. So very 70s, took me back to flower power and Goldie Hawns body paint on Rowan and Martins Laugh In. My sister and I used to paint those flowers on on legs for fun. One time my mother sent us to the store with our legs painted with flowers. I also had some bell bottoms with that same floral pattern. Loved the quilt and the video. Thanks for the 70s flashback

[@TheSewingChannel]

Thank you for sharing Lupie....sounds like you had a ton of fun in the 70s!!🎊 You have such precious memories of you and your sister💛

[@joyscranfield5527]

Hey Tracey! Beautiful quilt! I'll play with this design & collect fabric for it as I can...have to have 1 flower that is Tennessee Orange 🍊😉 (for my grandson). Who know I just might have a special "flower" for each of my grandchildren & great-grandchildren! Thanks for bringing back taste of the 70s! If used, I'll just throw a couple color catchers into the wash, they do work great.

[@TheSewingChannel]

Oh collecting fabric was so much fun for this one. I love your ideas of all the special flowers🌸 Color catchers worked great! Have fun with it Joy🎊

[@karenraabis5296]

I made an easy quilt and I FMQ’d those minky dots it was so hard. The quilt looks amazing!

[@TheSewingChannel]

Thank you Karen...much easier to tack the minky dot to the finish top instead of trying to fmq all the flowers on✅

[@karenraabis5296]

I am going to try regular Minky in the next one but I guess maybe if it is difficult I will just tack in the future. Live and learn.

[@LisaLisa-zl9vu]

Oh i love anything from the 70s i too grew up in the 70s. It was such a happy time for me. Young, unencumbered and just being a kid. I will be making this for sure!!! Minky is pricey in Canada (i find) and oddly enough muslin is too! I don't understand why the muslin is as pricey as regular cotton fabrics. I'll figure something out. Thanks for sharing this pattern. It is so Brady bunch groovy!!!

[@TheSewingChannel]

Just being a kid in the 70s was so freeing. Instead of muslin-maybe a sheet? and instead of minky maybe a store bought fleece throw? Have fun making it Lisa!💛

[@TLStitches]

I absolutely love that tip about sewing little scraps together to take along to fabric shop! Thank you! Great job, I grew up in the 70's too. I saw that book a while ago in a thrift store. I don't want to make it, but it's a fun memory! Thanks for sharing!

[@TiffanysQuiltingLife]

This is great! I love it. Also while watching I realized I could totally piece this on a longarm since it's all raw edge. Just by loading a whole cloth top, back with batting. Then add the pieces and stitch around them as you go. I'll probably not get to it right away... but it's an idea for the future 😊

[@TheSewingChannel]

Oh yes Tiffany!!!!! You would have it done in a flash on the longarm! Such a great idea! Now if I only had a longarm......LOL😂 (I wonder how this quilt would look all done in dif shades of PURPLE💜?)

Thank you! 😊

[@susanmei9980]

I just had an idea 💡: If we used a coordinating fabric for the underlayment, it wouldn’t matter if there were a few spots that came uncovered when the flowers lifted up or frayed. It wd cost a little more than muslin, but not that much and think of the savings in time, if you didn’t have to cut patches to cover every little spot or edge of the quilt! I just watched your video again, and your quilt came out much prettier than the one in the book, for some reason! I also had that Georgia Bonesteel book, too, until my apt flooded and I lost all my quilting books. I believe hers was from the 80’s or early 90’s, if I recall. I just wanted to say, thanks for sharing this with us. I get very overwhelmed with life’s problems. But your video cheered me up and got me excited about something; got my creative juices flowing; and that was enough to get me over the hump!🌷💝🌷

[@TheSewingChannel]

Yes Susan-I had thought about using something other than muslin too....in the end I only fixed those 2 spots that I showed in the vid✅ I'm thinking it might be too heavy with a better fabric other than muslin. With the top, muslin, batting and the minky it is a substantial weight....more like a winter quilt for sure. Life can be so heavy-I totally get it....quilting is definitely a type of mental therapy❤️ Keep your creative mind flowing and keep out all the crazy stuff! Have an awesome quilting week Susan!!💛
