I had a hard time choosing between this one & another quilt... In the end I chose this one because at the time it represented all of my taupes. I had been collecting & looking at these fabrics for a long time without using them. They were expensive & I was afraid that I would be dissatisfied with the result so I did not make anything with them... Once I got going I was fine & enjoyed making this quilt. I love the way it has high contrast & low contrast blocks & how it allows all of the different colors to play nicely together.
My only gripe is that the long armer fed it onto her machine sideways, so the clam shells look more like fish scales...

I love it. Great fabric choices.
It's really gorgeous Amy.
I'm glad you choose it, a really nice quilt with all the taupes. I love taupes - Enjoy the show - Hugs Nat
Lovely!
It's pretty fish scales tho.
gee amy, you really did the fabric justice there, it's beautiful, and i'm not really a taupe fan, but again, it's amazing what one colorway and a talented quilter can produce
i think your quilt is amazing!
It's a lovely quilt!
Low contrast blocks are so intriguing to me just now--they really draw you in to examine them closer. Thanks for sharing your quilt's story :) (if you had not mentioned it, no one else would have thought of fish scales!!!)
Great quilt. Love the block design.
Love it! It would be a perfect quilt for anyone, guy or girl.
I was so busy looking at the great layout of the colors that I did not even notice the quilting :)
I love it!
What a beautiful quilt. I really like how you have used the curved stitching in the quilting lines. It is a good contrast with all the straight geometrical patterns of the fabric. Well Done!
Beautiful! Love the taupes!
Really beautiful!!
It is lovely --- the taupes/browns/lights/darks really add a depth to it ... and well fish scales are okay too!!!
It is gorgeous -- love the taupes all playing together.
Very pretty with the quilting to incorporate the squares and the curves. Great job too with the contrast in the quilt.

Your quilt looks great. Love the fabrics and colours. I agree that sometimes it is hard making yourself cut into favourite fabrics. But it worked!
What a cool quilt, love the dimensional look and the secondary interwoven design. Great job.

What a lovely quilt! It reminds me of argyle socks, which I love! :)
It's a lovely quilt - so calm and peaceful.
What a pretty, subtle, neutral quilt. I love it!
Beautiful quilt. I really like how you used a full range of taupes. It makes for a very dynamic quilt.
very pretty! I love the calm feeling of this quilt.
I really like your quilt, it has a crazy mixed up argyle sock kind of look even with the "fish scales".
