This is what my idea looks like. I'm sure the other ideas are much better.

1 and 2 need to be switched, duh.

I like what you have done. I layed yours out too. It seems like there are too many colors that are too similair in the middle - I know - you didn't do the shopping :oops:

I am starting to come to the realization that there are many ways too lay this out!!!!

I don't think 15 or 2 go with the rest of your colors.

The grayscale view of your fabrics shown by justwannaquilt shows the values of each fabric. I agree with the observations made by this board members. I do think 15 is not quite right in color but the value is fine. I also agree that 2, 3, 1 is a better value scale of light to dark that as presently shown. I am sure you will have a beautiful quilt that will be highly valued by the recipient.

I am amazed at all the wonderful input you have received. The suggestions were ones that I never would have thought of. When I do my first one I will have to post for such positive feed back.

These colors are beautiful. The only concern for me would be the #15 it shows up on my computer as more brown and I personally like H and B , 15 on left side. but this is your quilt so you must like your colors.Just lay them down and move back to see what jumps out and play with your fabric. But write your moves down most times we go back to our frist picks.Good luck!

I have to agree w/ bgullett, I don't think #2 blends in the rest. I hve only made one bagello quilt in blacks and whites, so mine was easy. May I ask where you got the pattern???

I have to say that this layout looks really good. After starting on the quilt and having to adjust it after they were already cut, I wish I had had access to this post then. It was after ten on the Internet was off. Anyway, I just wantd to thank you. Your insights were very valuable.
