Floral X's and O's - My First Quilt top
The amazing posts of a variety of quilting topics and suggestions, and responses gave me the confidence to try stitching this quilt top for my D. Right now it is 63" x 81".
This began with the Floral X & O tutorial by Jenny Doan of MSQC. I used fabric by the meter. When it came to the layout, my D did not want a random layout which posed a problem because due to my inexperience, I had bought and used only 4 printed fabrics. Ultimately I stumbled upon this layout, liked it and was excited to see a secondary pattern of 8 pointed Stars emerge.
The problem is that I feel I have messed up with the colors. ( and I have a color wheel which I'm not very good with).
To me this looks too colorful. too busy. I feel the peach stars do not go well with the rest. Is it because it's in the same fabric?
I would appreciate any suggestions to improve on this.
Also request suggestions on the fabrics I should use for the 2 borders.
This one is going to be used as a bed cover, so what batting will be appropriate?
