I too, would add burgundys and blues and maybe some grays. I love your paisley fabric. May I ask what the name of the pattern is and where is it available to buy?

I'd go with a rose/mauve blender color as the medium fabric.

Thats my suggestion too ! Since you want to stay away from the 'pinks' what about a brighter greener closer to the color in the paisley.

Need a greener green. Add some pink and a dark blue. Just my opinion.

Why not pick out two that match the selvage on the paisley?

I can't tell what the darkest color is in the paisley - but I would definitely use some of that color (black or dark, dark blue)

I also vote for pink--but not pastel..more of a vivid cherry tone and black.

Oh, that is going to be yummy! I love the center fabric and think the grey on the left is great. I do agree that the one on the right is not right if the color is true to what we can see. Good luck and let us see your work in progress.

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.

I have trouble picking fabrics. So I will be watching post comments & be sure to post picture updates.
