John, Both are just gorgeous! i remember having a dress in the pattern of the first quilt back in the 60's. my mom made it. i cant remember the designer, but i think it was a Simplicity pattern. Is the 2nd quilt a "trip around the world"? very nice. amy
Yes, the second one is trip around the world. I think that there was a Japanese designer who did some fabric like the Mondrian quilt, about that time. Was it Marimeko, or something like that. It was sort of Swinging sixties and Carnaby street, Beattles era sort of thing. At least what I remember of that era.

I don't know who did the Mondrian-style fabric, but if it was Japanese, it wasn't Marimekko. That's a Finnish company. They still make very graphic fabric and other items

Thanks for reminding me. Of course Marimekko is Finnish. I thought that the Japanese designer had a name something like that though. I don't remember just what it was. That style of print was often seen on a sleeveless shift dress on a cute young thing wearing tall white go- go boots and dancing her *** off, around San Francisco, during the late 60's. Ah, The mind plays tricks on you if you lived through the
60's in San Francisco.John
Howdy!
Way to go, John! I'm all for covering up the white paint on walls (there are no white walls here ). Lovely way to display your work. And such beautiful work it is.

Oy...now it's sounds like your talking about my mother. lol I've seen pictures of her and she was a knock out by anyone's standards back then (she was nineteen at the time.) To this day she is still considered to be quite beautiful...I get my looks from my dad...sigh! Oh well! Can't help genetics. lol
Neato. I especially like the uhm..funky fencerail (the first on in the message).
