I was a teenager in the 70's, kitchens were avacado. We wore bell bottoms, floppy hats, there was flower power, oranges, yellows, hot pink, hot pants, disco, hustle, John Travolta, peace signs..
here is a link that my DH searched out for me which will give some idea of the fabric

I don't remember sunflowers when I was growing up in the 70's. It was colorful, bright colors, someone mentioned gold and avacado, that was kitchens.
Colors of the 70's
Bright pinks
orange
green
purple
tie dyed
yellow's
I remember there was a craze at one time in making paper flowers from tissue paper. I made some. Big and bright as far as flowers.
If that sunflower is suppose to represent the 70's it needs some pizzaz.
Clothes did not match back then, tye dyed t shirts and either bell bottoms, elephant legs (wide bell bottoms) afro style hair, no bras..favorite expression "Peace"
45 records
Beatles, Rolling Stones to name a few
but, bright colors,
Best to ask the person that sent you this sunflower, does she want subdued, or mod

Just looked in a book I have dating fabrics and the combo's were either earth tones or very Brite colors. A lot of plaids and daisies. Color wise the org and blue in the lower left of you pic and the brown and org upper right would work. Go onto ebay and search for 1970's fabric. I would attach a link but can't figure out how to do it on my iPad.

I have searched the internet and find that it can mean just loud/bright colors, in a patchwork pattern. HELP!
Any one know what "the 70's look" is in quilting? Sorry -- I was busy having my last baby and raising kids during that decade...remember Sesame Street and Wide World of Sports. Any body??? You really are my only hope. Maybe now I can go to sleep...

wow, 70's??? I'll go thru my stash to see if I can find my Starsky and Hutch fabric. LOL kidding
I have a quilt book from the late 70's and all the quilts featured in this book were very puffy and bright colors.
Many of them were large blocks too.
Good luck and I'm sure it will turn out just fine.
