Well, bummer on the store not having the fabric. Do you have back-up fabric in mind, or ....maybe you could find it online?

It continues the pattern and "white caps" the teal waves and carries on with the movement your piece has. JMHO, I would paint the frame a teal shade with a cream paint wipe off or vice versa. Or use white oak or pine and do a teal stain wiped off or a dark wood frame. Ok that's way more than my 2 cents so I'll stop now...sorry! Too much HGTV and DIY Network I guess :o
Well, everyone keeps voting for teal, but I still lean towards the cream. I haven't yet decided for sure, but I will make that decision today.

Quick and easy? Not really...:) I stew forever over my fabric choices, and then second guess even that. On this small one, I had my design all staggered on my design wall and decided it wasn't the look I wanted, so moved each small piece up five...(probably doesn't make sense, sorry). Anyway, thanks for the compliment! Glad it looks quick and easy from there. :) I do enjoy it all, and that is what counts, right??

I like the teal also

I'll be the odd one, I vote for cream. The teal looks very strong, whereas the cream looks softer. I'd like to try a small bargello as well, this gives me inspiration. Our daughter is getting married, and I'd like to do her wedding colours in a mini, and mount behind a window pane.................I'll have to think about that some more.

I like the teal the best. The cream just seems to fade away. Anyway, it's beautiful!

I like the teal in the corners. My "logic" is that it balances the teal in the center of the bottom portion. The cream in the corners gives the illusion that the top portion is rounded off at the corners. Of course the illusion will change depending on the binding you use. Interesting question.

I like the teal. In my opinion, the cream makes it look like you have holes in the top, and the teal fills it in very nicely.
By the way, gorgeous quilt.

I think it is beautiful any way you choose

Uh, Oh...didn't realize there were Bargello police. Now, however, I can store the bit about using each row needing one of the fabrics in the quilt. Thanks!

I vote teal.
