I was VERY picky about the fabrics in this quilt. No off-whites. Only real white and the same black in every piece. And I tried to stay mostly in the nature theme, although I added a few geometrics she really likes.
I like the purity of it, not having various shades of black and various shades of white. It draws your eye more to the design and the patterns that way, in my opinion.
My daughter knows I spent over a year finding just the right fabrics and the exact pattern to use. She uses it, but is very careful because she treasures it.
