Sooo glad that I am not the only one saving fabric for just the right project! Your comments are my thoughts exactly, but since you took that leap of faith I now know that there is still hope for me! LOL I love the pattern, also. I actually have that one because my son chose it for a bed quilt he would like to have some day.
I love your colors, and the black background was the right choice...provides a very nice contrast in the fabrics! Congrats on your quilt...it is beautiful! Thanks for the motivation!
