There are two ladies from Japan that made quilts in neutral colors, and I know one of them made a quilt with houses on the edge all around a circle quilt. It had a beige background? (I just saw it a month or two ago online and think I saved an image, but can't find at the moment.) One lady's name is Yoko Saito, and cannot remember the other lady's name, but I know she had a series of monthly blocks in a French magazine that was being sold at Road to CA in January. The blocks were similar to Sunbonnet Sue kids. Maybe this info will jar someone's memory and they know her name.
