This is the Matisse Inspired Rhyming Quilt set. I have been drawn to the Matisse paper cut blue nudes done in the late 40's. Something about the curves, thighs and raised arm - it's all so fluid. (Matisse had huge round cantelope breasts on his design.)

The humor of rhyming overcame common sense - I couldn't help myself. Top left: Matisse with Geese, top right: Matisse in Fleece. Middle left: Matisse in Chemise, Mid right: Peace Matisse. Bottom left Matisse in Breeze, b. right:Police Matisse. I loved doing this and have more rhymes, but decided to move on.
