I'm still picking out fabrics for islandwiz1's quilt. Hope to post some pics of the fabrics to get feedback
on my choices. I'm worried that the quilt may read a little "VANILLA". The fabrics are gorgeous, and in
assorted blues with a "touch of sparkle", I also have a green for leaves to place here and there. Please give me
your thought and ideas....I will NOT be offended....just want a little in-put :) OK, here are my fabrics....so far.Attachment 296763Attachment 296764Attachment 296765Attachment 296766
This is all fabs
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!! Have a great HOLIDAY and all stay safe!!

Merry Christmas to you all! I have a few pieces cut for my quilt to my partner and liking it! It could be a bit intimidating swapping with a LA quilter, but we'll see....
wuv2quilt, those fabric are gorgeous, and I especially love the lime in with the white and navy.
wuv2quilt, I agree with foxflower, the colors really go together the lime brings it out to me...its hard to pick out the fabric, wanting to make it right for our quilting partners.
Oooofff I am glad I am not the only one intimidated. Anna

Wuv2qlt, the blues are fabulous, but are you really sure of the lime green? I see that others think it sets it off, but I think it does it to much. It looks like a sore thumb hanging out there. If you are doing in real moderation, a little here and there, may work, I would get a softer green to tone it down a bit if you are going to do a green. You could always throw in a white on white which would look great. What block are you making or pattern? That may be your biggest factor in deciding. Your blues are fabulous, blue being my favorite color. Did you put in a beige, brown, or tan color to see how that looks?
I'm making islandwiz1 a pointed Dresden plate. I had thought to use the green for leaves around a few of the plates. BUT, after chatting with my partner, I'll be going a different route.....pastels :). I have a beautiful off-white with soft lavender pansy's and pale greenery....paired with some pastel blue, purple, and greens. YUMMY:thumbup:Quote:
