I have a son (one of four) who happens to like black and bright, basic colors. I made his first quilt ten years ago. It was 45 degree colors and my first time working with bias. I thot it was the ugliest thing I had ever made but HE loved it. It was well used and now he's ready for another one. This one is black background with music staffs in white and a huge, red treble clef in the middle. The back is beige with black music. He is an electrical engineer in the lighting, sound and decorating end of show business. I don't worry about anyone elses opinion. Only his, and he loves it. No, I'm not too fond of it either, but I like the pattern and ten years later, the workmanship is VERY improved.
