I think I may have to change my mind. You really made it work with this quilt. It makes a lovely background for your wonky circles. Love your descriptions of "crossroads" in your life. They're usually never smooth! I like how you judiciously added other colors for sparkle, but you never overwhelmed your background. Earthy but not dark or stodgy. It's really lovely!

But you're correct; it is such an earthtone. In fact, it's the red-brown dirt of my home. It creates such a richness in this quilt. The overlays add depth. You handled all the color and fabric choices so well. I don't think any are solids but they read like that and add to the style and impact. The blues and greens are needed and well placed. Just lovely!Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12922656955543465650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5297789041481934828.post-46867567712322603172015-04-21T04:49:55.258-07:002015-04-21T04:49:55.258-07:00Definitely a winner in my judgement!
