Very pretty quilt top, Jaba. Have the pattern, but have never done it. When they are that big, don't you just feel like you have wrestled an elephant? My first quilt was 108 x 116. What was I thinking? I have never again made one that long. Beautiful colors.

Help! I am so clueless when it comes to color value...,here are 3 options....most not stitched...i don't care for any of them. I want to introduce some lilac eventually...i wish i had used a white background on the center block....may have to restart this quilt!

Jaba, that is so beautiful. Of course, I do love purple.
Jill, I think I like the purple/green best, pink next, blue last. Guess I like that strong contrast. Say, you didn't try green/light blue.

Jill, I am wondering about a white that tends to pink or lilac or the lightest color you have in the middle to frame that beautiful center. Maybe totally off. Of the ones you have I like the pink the best. Seems "to go" with what you have. I totally agree about color angst. I just ponder and ponder and wear myself clear out. Finally, get frustrated and go with something.

Thank you all for the input! I don't have a lot of the darker pink fabric left, so I am hesitant to play with it! I am going to try to create the diamond block on EQ-I have the eq5, so there are not as many premodern blocks....and I haven't played with it much, which was one of my goals with this project anyways.
I am wondering if the strong geometric design of the block is fighting with the delicate swirls of the center???
