Definitely looks southwest to me. Beautiful blend of colors. And I'd say 80% of the time I do a quilt, I don't like it halfway through and just want to wad it up and throw it out the window, and look for a new hobby. But I keep on, reminding myself that I always like it again in the binding phase, and then after a trip through the washer and dryer, I sometimes want to keep it for myself--if I made it for someone else!
