Most of the blocks in this quilt came from the Quilts Etc.
free block-of-the-month class in 2012 and 2013. All the fabric is from the same
western motif novelty line, the name of which escapes me now. Generally speaking,
if you choose fabrics from the same line, you don’t have to worry about the
colors disagreeing with one another. But these prints just refused to get
along. Even the kaleidoscope medallion in the center didn’t help much. The idea
for the setting came from Marianne Hatton’s book Simply Dynamic Sampler Quilts.
It occurs to me now that the most appealing photos in that book are either monochromatic
or dichromatic. I probably should have
stuck with blue and grey, red and black, or brown and green – not all six at
once.
