    Turquoise and copper are not a strange combination, IMHO. It reminds me of Native American jewelry.

    I love these colors and think it will be beautiful. I'm wondering what the "white" is. I don't care for that if it is a part of the pattern....I'd like something with less contrast to the rest of the quilt....perhaps a little coral??????

    She specifically requested a cream colored background. So, it's cream colored tone on tone. I think it will look good.

    Reminds me of when I grew up in AZ and all of the native Indian stuff. I like it.
