I bought a BOM last year using Japanese Taupe for all the fabrics. Expensive but oh the fabric is so nice! I didn't know Japanese Taupe came is so many different prints; solids, plaids, floral. It's beautiful. Not bland at all. It has a lot of texture in the fabric. The BOM is the quilt on the cover of Past & Present - My Quilting Life- Yoko Saito. Beautiful book. The quilt is made from all Japanese Taupes. [ATTACH=CONFIG]392879[/ATTACH][h=1][/h]
