I'm looking for photos of completed quilts using this pattern
This is Miss Rosie's Simple City. http://www.homespunhearth.com/Simple...lt-Company.asp
I know I saw a version of this with French General fabrics (the reds and browns were dominate if I remember correctly) but I can't find that image at all now. A web image search also only shows basically this one quilt. I need a few examples of other colors/fabrics to jump start my creativity with this pattern.
If you have more sophisticated search skills, I would love to see what images you can come up with. Thank you.

luvspaper, yes, exactly. The soft pastel one is very pretty but looks like a sea of soft colors with no specific shapes. I saw one sometime in the last year or so that used a few darks to make part of the blocks "pop". I have the pattern (Miss Rosie too did it in all soft colors). It will probably require creating it on graph paper and coloring in various pieces to get an idea.

Thanks Susann, I think it was a quilt kit from Fat Quarter but I can't find any trace of it now. When I found it originally, the kit had long sold out so it was really just a web page floating out in internet space.

Is this what you are looking for?

I agree. It is a little wishy-washy for me, as I too prefere the play with light and dark...''chiaroscuro''. I actually didn't realise the pattern was so dynamic until I saw the last quilt of Miranda's. It reminds me of Mondrian's painting, Broadway Boogiewoogie in those colours.
