Sunflowers and Primary Colours

Those crazy braids!
Another creation from my twisted tool box.  By now you should be completely aware of my long term love affair with scrappy quilts.  The uglier the better in my book.  Orgies of incongruent patterns and colour schemes are a delight to my off kilter view of the world.

This quilt is no exception.  Red, Yellow, Blue in a braid of scrappy colour, sashing of a subtle green plaid, bordered by a field of black with Sunflowers, backed with a classic calico of black and white with more sunflowers and bound in basic black to pull the whole riot together in one coherent collection of fabric and thread.
