I think anyway you arrange the three colors, it will look awesome!

I have googled it and found many pictures of chevron quilts, but there don't seem to be many with 3 fabrics. Just trying to visualize before I commit myself to cutting fabric. Hmmm, maybe time to pull out my colored pencils and graph paper. :)

Thanks for any input though.

I just finished the top of a chevron quilt that my daughter wanted in light grays and yellows. I put white on white fabrics between the chevron rows and it really looks nice. If I could ever figure out how to post a picture I would post it here for show and tell. But, have tried to post pics many times and it just doesn't work out. Sure wish it was an easier process. Don't know why your 3 fabrics wouldn't work out in a chevron too.

I think its going to be pretty and I'm not a big fan of Chevrons. I like your color choices. I also like purple.

Three colors for chevron work well DD made a baby girl quilt with three colors and it was very nice she used white, gray, and pink. It doesn't sound sew great but was very soft looking and pretty. Love yours by the way.

Let me see if I can attach a picture of what I am playing with. Just playing at the moment.

And I prefer the orange and blue together.

Mainly because the w/b/w/o is way too much white for me
