I am making another 4patch lap quilt. I picked out the fabric for the 4ps and I was pleased with them. However, when I looked in one of my drawers I found a small piece of Amy Butler's Ginger Bliss. One of my all time favorite lines. Now I can't decide if I want to use the stripe in place of the purple.
The floral is the border and the rest are the patches. Then there is a white on white which I have not included.
My dilema is this: The stripe looks good stacked with the others but I don't know if it will be too bold in the quilt. I have only 30" of the stripe. I hate to cut into it if there is a chance it might not work. If this was any other fabric I would just cut it and try it out but I can not get any more of this.
The purple, however, looks nice. I like it but it is a safe, conventional choice.
Thoughts?
