    Default Fabric Choice question

    I have another question about the current quilt I'm working on...sorry for having so many.

    I just finished another block of my quilt and cannot decide if I'm happy with the top corner fabric...I really like the fabric itself but am wondering if it would be better to have the light solid color rather than introduce another fabric.

    Can I have opinions please on whether you all think it works or doesn't.

    Thanks,
    Yael

    If it were my quilt I think I might go with the lightest solid aqua. Try that and see what you think. Or I might try to find an even lighter solid aqua. The print doesn't seem to fit with this quilt. Another pattern with the same fabrics might be perfect for it.

    I like it, but I don't have to make it. If you have reservations, try using your other option before you go any further on the quilt.

    I actually stopped making a quilt because I didn't like my fabric choices. I donated it as scraps to a senior center because I didn't want it to go to waste and I knew I would never finish it.

    Best luck!

    I like it. If it's all too safe, there's no wow factor. What other fabrics will be used.

    BUT! It's your quilt, so do you like it?

    I like the fabric. My question is what are you going to use in those spaces just beyond that?? I think I would pin that up on your design wall also before committing.

    You blocks look very nice though. It will be a great quilt.

    I like it, but like the others said it is YOUR quilt you have to
    do what feels right for you.

    If ou still have reservations about the fabric do a few alternate
    "mock ups" to see if one of the others catches our eye more.


    Now what part of CO are you in? anywhere near the Denver metro
    area?

    Oh, I think it takes AWAY from the beautiful quilt. The star gets lost to me immediately. You asked, didn't you?
