I'm still waiting for the rest of my scrappy dots fabric to appear in the mail, so in the meantime I've been playing with this collection called Climbing Jacob's Ladder by Moda. And what else should I do with it other than to make a Jacob's Ladder quilt? Hmmm... I'm pretty sure this is a quilt only the creator (me) will love. The Australian quilt police (my Tuesday quilt group ladies) will tell me that there isn't enough contrast. Blah, blah, blah. Really, does everything have to be light and dark? Who makes these rules anyway? Can't we just explore and do what we like?

You made me laugh out loud! I've noticed a certain "type" of woman works at quilt fabric stores -- not shy with their opinions!
Looks like plenty of contrast to me!
Only one person needs to like it. As I typed this I realized it’s not true, I have made quilts that I didn't like, but I still had fun making them, so I think that is what counts.
I think the contrast level is fine, too. If you like it then it turned out just right.
I'm making a Jacob's Ladder and was happy to see your idea. I will post a pic. soon.
