    I guess you could say I inherited my love of paisleys from my Mom. I still can't pass up any paisley fabrics whether its clothing or table cloths or yardage All thru my school years most of my wardrobe was paisley.. I had to make my own cloths or re-make the smallest sizes of store boughts so they fit

    I love paisleys. In fact, right now I am working on a french braid that uses a pink/brown paisley.

    Of course, there is another reason I love paisley, more than fabric. My great niece's name is Paisley ... sweet in every way!

    I love paisley - in fact, am drawn to it - and probably have used it in nearly every quilt I have ever made. Love, love, love it!

    I'm a child of the sixties...love paisleys. But I didn't know until recently that how long they've been around. I bought some Civil War reproduction fabrics by Barbara Brackman and there was a great paisley.

    Love it, always have since the 60's. I love the paisleys out currently in some fabric lines. To me it looks playful.

    I love to use paisleys for my backing. I can pick up colors from the front and use variegated threads or a thread that will enhance the front and blend in with the paisleys.

    Reminds me of "The Persian Pickle Club" book by Sandra Dallas. Good novel about people who quilt.
