    Okay, so I plan on creating a triple Irish chain quilt for some friends in Philly. I'm using the book "Time for a Chain 2" for my pattern. The nice thing about this pattern is it's all done with strips.

    Now I would like to make the quilt in "warm earthy" tones, or in a all greens with a white background. So I was wondering if I could get suggestions on fabric collections you like with these colors in them. :)

    I've been looking at my quilt shop, but haven't found the right colors yet. So if you have any suggestions I'd love to hear them. :)

    How about batiks? You should be able to find some nice earthy tones just about anywhere they sell batiks.
