Do you remember where you purchased it?
The pattern is gorgeous. Such fun to have a dedicated time to work on it.
edit: I can see a navy blender, too. Because I'm not a blue fan, I tend to forget blues, but I do like a strong rose color with that paisley.

I had not planed on using that green. But it was in the pic I pulled up and I don't have my camera or phone with me right now to take a new picture.
I'd like to stay away from pink since the quilt is going to a man. so I guess I need to find the Navy and dark green to use.
I'm gonna use a cream color for the back ground.

or you could even try a black in there every so often, the colors are great, but im with everyone, the green u have is too olivey, freshen the green, think spring leaves..

I want to use the center and left fabric (not the green) but I need two more colors. The center and one of the strips.
The pattern I am using is under the fabric picture.

I'd go with a navy or black and a clear green like in the paisley.
Too bad the pink/mauve wouldn't work! But I agree, it might not go over well for a male recipient. Some of my guys would like it, my DD (go figure!) and some of the rest would not.
