Well they are shade of grey, backsides of fabrics and pale greens. A lot of choices there.

thank you for explaining that--it is great and I love how each part is reflective of a different quilter.

I really like what you have done with this project. It is stunning. Such a neat idea. So much to see in this lovely piece. One would never tire of looking at it. Hope it raises lots of money i n the auction.

Very artsy quilt ... I love it! I'd like to try this technique on my own, as it would be almost impossible for me to find 8 quilters who would be interested in taking the "collaborative" approach. Since I have a HUGE bin of landscape fabrics, it would seem that I could manage it. Thank you for sharing.

Spectacular. Your quilt is deserving of a place in a museum. Quite a work of art.

I love this. I was part of an art group that did the same process. My group fizzled out but the others did some of the most beautiful work. Tell your friends good job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had to hound them constantly. But they seem glad I did,
