Organic and Fan Shapes

I like the fan shapes and the silhouette feel that the white leaf-shapes create against the darker background. The color palette is interesting. It is nearly neutral with greys and taupes, browns and dull greens. The dark golds and deep purpley blues snake their way up the quilt ending in an explosion of purple dots at the top right corner. Over all its organic and dynamic without
being really colorful. Within the borders are details that may be embossed velvet or velveteen, or even brocade. Triangular pieces wrapped through a covered ring, they look like tie-d0wns, made to be attached to something?

This is quilted by hand by the way, in a wonderful combination of detail-creating stitches, outline and background grid/cross-hatching.
