I had a hard time finding 100% cottons way back then. Oranges were hard to find, and purple was nonexistent.
This is a Road to Oklahoma variation. Even back then I was breaking rules and doing my own thing. Cotton fabrics were all small chintz's back then. Certainly dull by today's standards.
I made a lot of quilts to sell back then, and I made a few of these sailboats. I got tired of lining them up in regular rows.

You were a rebel back then - good for you and for perfecting that trait!!!
You are right, the old calicoes were pretty boring but at the time we had no choices other than them and solid colors. I was so happy when larger prints were available.
Your beginnings are my aspirations. Thanks for showing them.

Oh how far you have travelled!!
I am a bit old fashioned. I still love calico prints. Now they are vintage and I get them cheap at quilt shows.
Love your early quilts.
