I've really been in an improvisational mood recently. The gold strip at the top of this swatch is new for me. I wanted to figure out how to create the illusion that the knitting had been sliced -- quilt style -- and the gold strip inserted. I think it works.

Me too. Your swatches are reminding me so much of those quilts that appeared on a set of USA postage stamps. They were so pretty that I wanted to keep them all insteading of affixing them to envelopes.

It SO works and it's such a brave choice of colour. Everything else sings around it.
