A quilt in non-colors

This is from an email from my daughter, Carrie, who lives in North Carolina:

"I've been thinking about a quilt and I think I want to go with non-colors. For example one dark charcoal gray fabric on the back; on the front have a quilted pattern of whites and off-whites, maybe pale, pale, pale pinks and yellows, too. Then have the stitching in a white thread so it would be subtle on the front, but dramatic on the back. Maybe in a floral pattern. What do you think?"

After her son Brett received his quilt, she asked if I would make her a quilt about the same size (twin).  I said sure, just let me know what you want.

These are the fabrics I've pulled together.  I think there's a good balance.  The gray and white stripe will be for the binding.  I thought that would tie the back and front together.

I'm very smitten with this quilt image, I think it's from Fall Quilt Market, but I'm not sure:

I think I may try something similar with squares and HSTs.  Of course with the "non-color" fabrics it'll be very subtle.

May your bobbins always be full,
