It's not just that the fuschia (from light to dark) is beautiful – it is that it is mixed with the different shades and values of green and brown/gray. Great colors for a quilt.
The ombre shading of the banana leaf (below) really stands out in this photo. It's an interesting idea – to use this sort of shading on one motif in a composition to draw attention to it.

Have you seen that funky blue vine yet??? I wish I remembered the name, but it really is BLUE…..Kind of a turquois-y shade. We saw it at a pineapple plantation on Kauai. You will know what I’m talking about if you see it!

the internet is a wonderful thing. The turquoise plant I described above is a type of jade plant/vine. Called Strongylon macrobotrys…..what a mouthful. Ask about it, you wont be dissappointed!
