It is colorful, it reminds me of growing up in VT and walking thru the forest, seeing the different colors of wild flowers and the different colors of greens on the trees. While walking you come upon a fence line but in stead of a fence it a well placed Stone Wall covered in colorful vines. I think this dishcloth should be call Fanciful Stonewall

This is on my to do list and I will be making it soon. Every time I look at this it reminds me of the old cobblestone roads. Therefore I think it should be called The Cobblestone Dish Cloth. It is a beautiful pattern.

Brick & Mortar - Rainbow With this title format, the pattern itself can be named "Brick & Mortar" with the colorway being open for change, such as "Rainbow" in this chosen colorway. This leaves room for personal changes in color, but the pattern name stays the same.
