Ralphs is a master of contrast. Her Couch Top patterns feature large swaths of solid, high-quality fabric (often a deep charcoal, navy, or cream) punctuated by small, intricate bursts of color. This negative space is not just aesthetic; it provides a resting area for the eyes and makes the quilt less intimidating to piece.
