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.[ATTACH=CONFIG]296763[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]296764[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]296765[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]296766[/ATTACH]

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 have a beautiful off-white with soft lavender pansy's and pale greenery....paired with some pastel blue, purple, and greens. YUMMY
I'm trying to figure WHERE to post pics so that islandwiz1 DOES NOT see them.....she want's to be surprised.
Ok, I'm off to my Quilt Shack to do some organizing, and sewing.
Happy, Safe , and Blessed Holidays to All!
