pokadiva thanks for helping judy with the clue i've missed her on the board hoping for her speedy recovery

Sorry to hear of Judy's being down in the back. Been there, done that, and it is no fun. Prayers for a speedy recovery.
OK, I'm trying again with fabric array. If I don't get started this weekend, I'll be too far behind to catch up. What about these choices? A is lighter than B, and C is darker than D. B & C go well together as they both have blue, plus leaves go with flowers. E complements A&B, and F actually goes with all of them since most of the colours are in it. E and F also have good contrast. I could switch out C for one of the Alts, but then won't have anything for F that contrasts well.
I am lousy at matching fabrics, but since I already have these, can't exactly go down to the quilt shop and ask them for help as none of these were purchased there.

Yea ! I will get to clue 2&3 today at my mini sew retreat this weekend.:thumbup:

I like the choices you have marked for A through F. The alt #1 could work for F also. But I think Alt # 2 may not work she had made a suggestion to someone else about directional or stripe fabric not to use them if you are picky about what way it is facing. And I am picky about that so I chose no directional fabric for this mystery.

I really like Alt#1 in place of "F" anf those are great fabrics.........go with your A,B,C,D now, you can make final decision for E&F next week or the week after......have fun........if there is voting I vote for Alt#1 for "F"...LOL, no secret ballot here...(laughing)

Thank you both. I missed the post on the directional fabric, but I really don't like that one anyway. So here is my final choices. (I know I only have to worry about A-B, C-D right now, but DO NOT want to buy more fabric to match them).

Perfect! Sunlite's switch is the one I was going to recommend. The first F didn't have the same feel as the other fabrics.

Yay, the train is moving now! Off to cut.

Well wishes to those having bad days, I hear ya.

Welcome to those just checking in at the last station stop :) I made chocolate chip oatmeal cookies.

Going to try to keep up and finally pulled fabrics from my stash. I don't keep a lot of yardage (usually only buy 1 yard when I buy) so trying to shop from what I have.

Here's what I came up with....I love this print and purchased the gold and silver with it. So was trying to find 3 other fabrics to go with....

fellow riders, please let me know what you think. If something is too far off, I'll have to wait till I can get to the quilt shop next week.

Oh, and the A - F are laid out as Judy's.

I like it! All the colors go well with the printed fabricl.
