The inspiration for the colors of this quilt draws from my time doing geologic research in the Tonopah, NV area. The browns and tans in the quilt reflect the colors of the naked terrain of the region. The greens reflect the tough desert vegetation. The overall color scheme is meant to mimic the sense of harmony and balance of the stark natural environment of Tonopah.
