Monochromatic Ambidextrous Minimalist Travel Quilt

I had a unique request (my favorite kind) to make a custom quilt for a custom van, perfect for road trips. It was too hard to choose between flying geese (triangles) and a big bold graphic X, so we decided that I would try to do both, one on the front, one on the back, like a mullet quilt, but with a party in the front and a different, but clearly related, party on the back.

This was a challenge for a lot of different quilty reasons, but the biggest challenge for me was the color palette: gray, dark gray, darker gray, and black.

I'm a fan of color. ALL the colors. As many colors as will fit. But I gotta admit, it looks cool. And I particularly love the binding detail. because I couldn't resist including a little touch of rainbow, I added a rainbow of gray into the binding.

I used mostly Michael Miller cotton couture solids. Without any colors to play with, I did add in some texture with some yarn dyed Peppered Cottons.
