LOL, thanks. Another way to make fabrics go together that don't, is to put something between them they both go with. Like if you have two greens that just won't play nice together find another fabric that uses tones of the two greens and all of a sudden they'll work together.

A 'Robbing Peter to Pay Paul' block would be striking. http://www.quilterscache.com/QuiltBlocksGalore12.html Just use whites for the white spots and various reds for the red spots and it should look amazing when you are done.

I also did Bonnie Hunters Pineapple Blossom using my Christmas fabric as scrappy. The only thing that was consistent was the white background. Again it worked well. So just go for it. Marge |
The pinwheel is a favorite of mine and looks fantastic using white with different fabrics.

I am making a Redwork Quilt with all Christmas Motifs. Embroidering the motifs in Redwork and setting together with some unusual fabric from my on-line store.
Redwork is all the thing, I learned at Guild last night. [email protected] |
I have just finished a Christmas quilt for DS & DBI. It is red & green with a cream background. I made most of it from my stash as I had collected a lot of red fabric & finally got to use it. I will post a photo of it tomorrow.

I have made two Christmas quilts using lots of different theme fabrics. Both quilts done in 9-patch used 27 different Christmas designs, set with red sashing. Those funny little slightly off colors play together when mixed with a bunch of others. I now have my Christmas stash built up again for another quilt. I found a bunch of the Christmas fabrics at yard sales this past summer. I have a goal to for 2010. Isn't it fun gathering for a project?

Have you thought about the friendship star? It works up very nice as a 2 color quilt .
