    I drafted for years in the engineering field.. I see the advantage as to knowing how much fabric to purchase with a quilt pattern...but I do not see the advantage to the color pallet of this new design on the computer.

    really saddens me.. We have wonderful talent in the "new world" of quilting.. I am so very sorry to see it so canned.

    I vote .. No, it is not "just (you)".... sigh.

    Me too! I really enjoy seeing colors put together in 'differnet' ways. I really like purple and oive and am just completing a quilt in those colors. As someone else said 'viv la diffrance' (sorry, I have trouble spelling in English much less French)!

    i'm already of the "new" colorways, too. i didn't like them back in the 60s and 70s, and i don't like them now. been there, done that--lived through it once, and don't have to do it again.

    I haven't seen this particular design, but one very close to it, in person. It is striking. It contrasts well, and at a distance it doesn't look odd. The purple in the one I saw was so dark you had to get close to see that it was purple. I didn't care for the colors, not my choice. But the quilt was striking. :)

    I was refering to the author's original picture when talking about the design.
    the second one I like. the purple is an accent. It's like looking at Irises, they are purple with greens. :)

    Depending on the shade I like Sage and grape, aqua and grape
    BUT the only green I like is money it goes with everthing I wear or quilt.
