I actually "auditioned" about 16 fabrics total before I chose the 11 that went into the quilt. I say just start with one and pull the next and the next. The way you construct this quilt is to make a 9 patch out of 2 fabrics and then you follow it with a round of squares of one of those 2 fabrics. Your choices determine the bloom or not. I had a couple of fabrics that I thought would work but when I cut and made the first couple of blocks with them rejected and rechoose something else. I laid the strips out on a large cookie sheet and walked by them in my kitchen for few weeks just glancing as I went by and that helped me to choose.

I want to do another one! I would say dive in and start. Its a fun quilt to make and much easier than it looks!
