From the designer, Tone Finnanger - 'Wallflower is an ornamental collection loosely inspired by, and my somewhat romantic take on design styles popular in the 1960s and 70s. The name Wallflower takes me back to dancing school, at a time of my life where I was taller than all the boys and therefore doomed to be a wallflower. The ballroom had a distinctive 1970s floral wallpaper that I tried my best to disappear into, much like the shy girl in the Wallflower fabric design. Given the state of the world at the time this collection was designed and the inspiration behind the fabrics, it seemed fitting to promote some good thoughts through the naive but heartfelt Peace and Love quilts. The era also inspired the cute Campervan quilt designs where buttons are used as decoration on the wheels, and, of course, a whimsical flower quilt is a must. The collection has two distinctive color stories. One is sweet and fresh with vintage reds, greens and pinks with hints of blue and sour yellow. The other is more of a nod to the 1960s and 70s, with caramel, blue, ginger, ochre and thistle tones.'
