Coffee and Cream

[ATTACH=CONFIG]597823[/ATTACH]

This one is called "Coffee and Cream" -- a departure from what I usually do, but a lot of fun to make! I hope you like it.

Wonderful quilt, Laura. You must plan your blocks so carefully to get the effect you achieve. Great name, too. I happen to be drinking coffee and cream right now.

Well, I do start with an overall idea and a bunch of fabrics spread out to choose from, but the exact placement is by trial and error. The reds, for example, were added later (but before the whole was sewn together). Then I have to live with it for a while before I can find a name...
I am glad that you like it!
