What's on the Design Wall in January?

I am making a 70's quilt, and it is the most fun quilt I have made for a while.  I am calling it, "That 70's Quilt."  I did some looking through my stash and found some fabrics that would work, but I needed smiley faces and peace signs, so I did buy a little yardage to make it more 70ish, such as the cassette tape fabric, 1977 Star Wars fabric, and the smiley face fabric.  I discovered that I already had three different peace sign fabrics, so that worked out well. 

It is going to be larger than I had planned it to be.  I think I may make another that will be a little smaller.  This one is looking to be about 64" by 74". 

A couple six-foot tables come in real handy when designing and constructing quilts.
