Interesting for sure. But just the thought of making one sends me running for the aspirin. Way too complicated for me.

This is a beautiful pattern, with such wonderful variations for colors to pull out elements of the design. This is far beyond my skills, but if anyone does it, be sure to post so we can oooooh and aaaawwwww!

I'm with you, Linda. I will just sit back and watch. But can you imagine one done in batiks???? PP would be the way to go, but since I am not much for PP or complex works of art, I will pass.

Thanks for all your comments. You can further break the pattern down by using triangles instead of romnibi . I may be crazy but I think I will try a small pillow or table center piece. Yes, bright colors would be fun.
