Here is another story... My cousin begged me to make her a quilt. I said what color is your favorite? "Tourquoise" was her only response. So I made a beautiful queen sized tourquoise and purple star log cabin for her. When she got it last christmes she said. "This was not what I was expecting". She came to love it, but geez... What a let down for me!
Here it is... I know not everyones cup of tea...

It is pretty - but 'unconventional' when I think of log cabin.

I think I might have asked for another color that she likes with turquoise - some people like rust or brown.

By the way, turquoise, purple, and lime is one of my favorite color combinations.
