flower power

Jan in VA mentioned a VW or VW bus and I think either or both of those is a great idea. Maybe put a flower design on the door or just use big flower fabric? I know there are quilt patterns out there for both those vehicles so maybe you even could look at them and design your own.
Well, they turn out to be easy to find so here you go: Here's the bus one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/GROOVY-NEW-P...item5d41a23ff2 And here is the car: http://www.ebay.com/itm/GROOVY-NEW-P...item5d41a24017 This should be a fun quilt to make! |
maybe a great big tree in the middle of the quilt blocks. sort of like a great big tree of life. I would also suggest batiks. they seems that they are something hippie ish. at least to me. I would go with maybe more idea than steriotype. I knew a few types that would be called a hippie but they wouldn't be pleased to be styreo typed as the "hippie" most think of. go with her person ality and things she would have in her home.

How about a Dove,
Olive branches -maybe in a circle like the wreath of the original Olympics, two fingers making a v from the WWII symbol that was later adopted by the hippies. the words peace and balance tight rope walker (for balance) Heart Daisies or a wreath of daisies entertwined with olive leaves/branches |

did you want some pieced blocks as well as applique?
Bright Hope Money wrench or snails trails would also compliment the ying yang. (And you don't have peace when there is a monkey wrench in your plans.) Friendship star House Tree of Life Trip around the world |

I really like the tree of life idea and I definitely think that batiks should be used throughout. They have more of that tie dye feel to them. ;) I would like to thank everyone for the wonderful ideas. I already have a block made of this cool butterfly. I'll try to get a picture of it up soon and put it in this thread. |
I also thought of snail trails because of the circular pattern similar to Yin and Yang.
