Struggling with fabric choices.... Mom's 90th quilt HELP!
#15
Thank you for all of your thoughts! I have one more photo of another variation. I think it might be one I can live with. I was going for a more delicate look as it's for my mom and she's turning 90. I thought originally the blue would work as a shabby chic look but for me it just doesn't, in person it just seems to take over the wallhanging, as well as the bright pink. So someone suggested I try something with the pale and bright pink. So here is what I came up with, just a peek of the darker pink, seems to make it recess more... hopefully...

I like the blue with the darker pink. Are you doing a border all the way around the quilt in it? You know your grandmother best - what would she like? As a grandmother (and great GM) age person, I like the color and contrast in the size of the prints with the blue included.

Yes. I don't want to overwhelm the embroidery. Thank you for the compliment.
Embroidery designs from Embroidery Library and have been heavily edited.
Yes the sashings will go all around the perimeter.
Thanks again for your opinions. Very much appreciated

I also like the dark flowered border on the left. It shows up teal on my computer. It seems like the pale pink washes out the borders, even the white with dark pink spots. Your wall hanging will be beautiful no matter what border you decide to do.
