Those first quilts shared a mostly common palette.<br /><br />Now in this Colorplay series, we deal with a different palette each time. And yet each quilt you make is unmistakably Françoise. This quilt is both moody and serene.

I could look at this a long time, too. The contrast of the fine stitching and the large swaths of color is wonderful too.
