The quilt police would probably say yes. Using just fabric from just one range. I guess it is, it takes the hardwork out of choosing colours that go well together and the light and dark thing. I usually buy quite a lot of ranges but then I usually mix in a bit here and there from the stash. This time I didn't because I just loved the fabric. Here is my version of Leanne's Quilt from the Loxton Road Trip.
I went a bit mad with this range Roman Holiday by 3 Sisters. I just loved it and I ended up getting a lot of it including a couple of charm packs, a jelly roll which I shared with a friend and 3 lots of 2yard lengths for borders. Now all I have to do is decide what will be my final border. Might put a thin border round the stars first. Looking at the picture I am leaning towards the border strip I think I might leave it for a week and then go and have a fresh look. Well No 3 Project is almost done.

I am so glad that you posted this picture! I bought a bunch of this same fabric group recently and have been thinking about how to use it. I just love your quilt. What fun to have taken classes with Gail and Leanne.
You dare to tempt the quilt police!! LOL..just kidding :o)
I think it looks lovely..why fuss over colours when the collection is just so nice together.
your quilt looks lovely Amanda...I like buying full ranges sometime as I know that they all go together...staying home sick today so I night do some work on mine....Julie
Oh WOW! You have been very busy! The quilt is really divine. You certainly are good at picking colors, using a range only helps, you still have to balance and select what goes where. As for the 'quilt police', well, really, who cares?
