Yep, that is what I thought as well. In fact, there is some dark gray fabric I am using as well. I knew I was not off my rocker with this quilt. I just wanted another quilter opinion for my sanity. When I pick colors, I generally throw in one contrast to add some zing, which I may in the border of this quilt, but the rest are all in this range of colors. Even the neutral is the right shade to fit in.
