Help I need suggestions
 

I want to make a Flying Geese Rainbow quilt, but don't know which material to use for the sky. Would you use 1, 2, or 3 ???

i like #2....can't wait to see it done

I vote for #3. I like your rainbow fabrics.

Well, I'm no help. I'd pick #1. Maybe #2. Not #3. Isn't that funny? 3 votes and they are all for different fabrics!

I love your rainbows and think this quilt could be awesome. Not that you want to bring another color to the suggestion box, but I think if it were mine I'd look for something in mottled grey.

At first look, I said #3, but then looked again, and I like #1 best! I'm not gonna look again! LOL!

Prefer the contrast with #3.

Do you mean to use a mottled gray for the "sky" or add it for the "Geese"? Now you have me thinking in a whole new direction. LOL

I like #3.

I like #1 the best

I like the idea of molted grey. Otherwise, #3.

I was thinking a mottled grey for the sky also, like it had just got done raining and the rainbow pops out with a little sun
I vote for #1 at first I liked #2 but I think 1 is the med of the three and would make a good choice.

I like 2. But you go with what your heart and eyes lead you too, as they all would work

Mottled grey

mottled grey or number 3 for me too.

I like 2...

Though they are all lovely fabrics, I think they compete with the rainbow colors and will dominate the quilt. My vote would be for the mottled grey or another more subtle color for the sky.

i like 3!!!

I like the idea of gray, black, or white. If not, then #3 - The #1 and #2 are too blendy with the red.

I vote for 3, 1 and 2 are too close to one of the colors in the geese. Gray or black would be nice also!

I like #3 but would rather a mottled light grey....That's the way I see rainbeaux here in S. La. Hugs

I vote for 3.

#3 makes your colors pop

What is a Flying Geese Rainbow quilt?

I would vote for number three.

i vote for #2

Number two is lighter. I think the other colors would pop better with that one.

I definitely vote for something neutral for the sky. If not mottled gray, then black, white or almond. The brightly colored geese will pop with a high contrast sky/background. Think of it this way, a brightly colored rainbow shows up against a mostly neutral blue sky, after the rain. Thats how the pretty geese will stand out on your quilt if you choose a neutral background.

I also vote for a more "sky" color to show off your lovely rainbow colors.

However I can also see if you are trying for it to be a rainbow against a sunrise or sunset sky then your reds make sense.

Of course it's your quilt and your vision of what you are trying to create! So you know best on that.

I would also go for more of a neutral so the geese pop more. But if you like the red, I would go with #3 as it has the most contrast with your red geese. Your three reds contrast nicely with all the other geese, so I would make the decision on which looks best with the red geese. Of course you have the best view for that.
Just my thoughts. I am sure it will be beautiful. Geese are one of my faves.....would love to see this completed!

IMHO, I am not keen on any of them. Do you have a dark forest green or dark maroon or black? Just try some more colors, even a midnight blue would be nice w/ the rainbow geese. The brown tones seem to over power the other colors in my old eyes:D.

If I had to choose one of these it would be the third one, it allows the geese to fly!
peace

EDIT: I also like the idea of a grey sky, but a dark one!

IMHO, since the colors are so brilliant, a brilliant sky would be awesome. So I vote for the brightest which is #2.

I like number 3. Lovely fabrics.

I, too, would go for a molted grey. Are you going to use Ricky Tims method for your flying geese? It will be a stunning quilt.

That's where the idea came from. I don't think I will use his method because I don't want the Geese to be like pockets.

they don't have to be pockets. just fold back the edge and sew the lip down. quite attractive.

I agree with alikat110. I think the others are too much in contrast with the row of colors. IMHO

I think a dark gray or black. ...but of the ones you have I would say 3

I like #3 more contrast ...that is what we say at sit and sew..you have 20 gals and at least 20 different ways to do things..love it

Since 1 and 2 are the favorites.. can you blend in 1 and 2...Start 1 on the bottom of the quilt and fade into 2? Lots of help ha??? Have fun with it..

I like two cause it's the brightest and matches the brightness of the rainbow.
