Play with Colors to Make It Yours!
This modern take on Granny Square blocks makes a striking quilt. The low-volume print used for the background softens the look, yet the quilt is crisp and eye-catching.
Other color themes work nicely, too. Small-scale tone-on-tone prints produce crisper results than larger prints. Either way, this is a beautiful quilt.
