How many fabrics do you need? I like them all and I think I see both the red & the orange in the polka dot, but I'm thinking they might "fight each other" in a D9P? I'd go with the red over the orange if it were me- but it's not, so what does your artist eye tell you when you close your eyes?

Use them all! And add in one that is darker yet than any shown because you're good in the light and medium value range. Gonna be a darling quilt, can't wait to see it!

I would use them all. I can hardly wait to see it when you are finished
|
I would use all except the red. Put the strongest color in the center and make sure the dots go in a center position on a side so they get cut in half. If you do use the red, put it in the center so it becomes smaller squares.
Reposition your 'audition' so the red is not showing as much with the beige floral on top. Maybe we are just seeing too much red in the current pic. |
I have made 3 D9P and the last one I used a "rule" from a talented lady on this board. I would use the first6 4 of your fabrics left to right. I would make the corner squares blue and the centers gold and use the two lights for the other squares. Can't tell if that is rust color in the first print and far right print. Polka dot could be used along with the two beiges, but it looks more white background ?? The "rule" I used is make all corner squares dark or light and the center square dark or light and do the other squares opposite of the corners and center, I love dark corners and dark middle square and the rest light. This makes a definite pattern and not scrappy looking. This is just my opinion and whatever you choose to do will be special. Sorry I don't have a pic to share.

They all would look great. I think it just depends how many colors you want to use.

I like them all. The red could be your zinger.

I like the first four and if you needed another do you have a green you could add?

Please help! Quilt Inspector is keeping my sewing chair warmed for me while we await your input..........lol Using just 3? I'd use the beige flowers for the outside corners. The orange for the inside square and the blue for the middle edge pieces. |
