I want to make this from my not-so-huge stash, and i want to use Christmas fabrics....I will use gold for the yellow constant, reds for the pink, greens for the greens, black and white neutrals.....but i am stumped with a color substitute for the teals....any thoughts? Royal blues, purples??? I have purple in my stash, but not much of any color of blue....
I am sure it will make a lovely Christmas quilt. I would stay away from a blue as it may turn out kind of patriotic depending on your shade of red and blue you choose. I think a purple would work, if you stay towards the red violet. Cannot remember what the yardage is for that but you may want to make that the color that uses the least yardage to keep it not so much impact.
