flannel quilt - need some help
2 Attachment(s)
So I have all this flannel that I've discussed in some other posts and I've made some kaleidoscope type blocks from it and am putting together several quilts from them. I've arranged these blocks a couple of different ways to try to get something, maybe a baby quilt, out of them. Here are 2 different arrangements. Any suggestions? I've added some background colors to see how that would look. Is it really horrible? Do you think some other background color might work better? Help!

I love the blocks. I like the red but think I like the design wall color better.

I like the second arrangement better. Have you tried a black background? Also, what's the plan for back of the quilt?
|
I would like to see all red going through that center design. That shade of blue isn't quite right to me.

I also like a white or off-white, but I hate to do that on a quilt. It will get dirty so fast.
I like all the backgrounds. They all bring out the pretty blocks. |
I have seen this done with the dark green and it was beautiful. Please try it and see how it looks.

I vote for dark green or dark red.

I'm not crazy about the two large 9 patches, but the others are an interesting use of the 4 patch posey idea, and the top arrangement is attractive and balanced. The red is nice, or maybe even pick up the green in the plaid.

I would go dark green, black the colour of a dark strip in fabric with first design. The red and blue don't go. Love the blocks.
