As Rob says...a modern look, retired teach, plus a graphic look.
And yes found the background fabric for the City blocks...now to cut it. It will take a little figuring out as it's not the typical block and sash setting and need to make the most of my fabric.
I also fell a little when I went to visit my aunt on Friday. Took a side trip to a town that has 2 shops...one well established that I like and then a new one down the street. Found fabric at #1 to finish off another quilt and ooops fell when I went to the new shop..not too much, but...But I don't plan on needing anything past the end of the year.
