Someone will absolutely love this quilt once it's completed. Monotone can be calming. I made a really colorful and beautiful quilt, but found out I really prefer calmness in my bedroom so I cannot use this quilt in my room because the colors gives off a feeling of excitement and movement. Therefore, my granddaughter scored and she was so happy to get it. I think the key here will be the quilting. It can turn out really well in spite of not having too much contrast. I still make mistakes at times when selecting fabric. Sometimes I think this and that fabric will work out and when I make the first couple of squares, it doesn't turn out quite as I had expected. Remember, every quilt is a lesson. Don't give up.
