When I first saw this I thought it was very peaceful, unlike any pattern I had rever seen, and it was 'edgy' with the argyle pattern on the border.
I read all the comments and then I read Jan in VA's idea, so I did it. Within moments, it looked as if the center was moving to the back of the quilt or moving away from me and getting smaller. Next thing I knew, my eyes were so relaxed I was looking at the inside of my lids and nodding.
The hues of each color were matched up pretty good IMHO. I still think it is lovely and I don't care for avacado green. I remember appliances, a car, and carpet that color, too.
