I think I am going to pick a group of fabrics. The sample quilt on the front cover of the book is Bernartex"s Nuance line. I do not plan to use that same line, but it helps to think about fabrics that coordinate with each other but still are definitely different prints (.... not all the same swirl in different color ways.)
... Yes to floral, stripe, plaid, swirl, tone-on-tone that all go together. I've been looking at fabrics.com. There you can see whole lines of fabric together. I will probably buy from a local quilt store if they have what I want.
By the way, the book says that 1/2 yard cuts of 8 different fabrics is a good amount for this project. It may vary a bit if you do a lot of fussy cutting.
hugs, Jupiter
