Inspiration: Threads and Patches

This crazy-quilt block by Marjolein of Threads and Patches is as good as a textbook for creating an interesting and complex yet harmonious design. Each detail deserves attention. Like the drooping grape clusters. Or the tiny silk-ribbon-rosette flowers. Or the meandering yellow ribbon vine. But taken as a whole, the colors, textures, and images are a perfect blend.
