On the other hand, I have always wanted to do a red and white quilt, and I am pondering making Allietare in four deeply contrasting values of red. I know Bonnie's quilts do tend to be busy, and maybe the cohesion of all reds will tone down the busyness somewhat.

Oh, my fickle heart.....Must decide soon!

wow, reds are an interesting Idea...hope you do at least one experimental block that way and share with us.

Warning this is from a person who has a box of experimental blocks...but I also have a GreatGrandaughter and with a few borders they make cute doll quilts.
