No contrast, just gradually blending from one shade to the next. That's my favorite scrappy quilt - no sashings. See, I told you I was in a minority. LOL!
No still not the minority Tanya....IMHO....I think what you may be describing is what I understand to be called Watercolor Quilts. I love them too!!!!! But two may still be a minority on this thread, but the Watercolor quilts are very, very popular and beautiful to my eye!
