Love the pattern and your Gran's fabrics. Great posts to this thread...sometimes the "quieter" quilts hold more appeal. Be sure to show us what you come up with....we love pics:)

I'm going along with Sue and PaperPrincess a dark green or deep navy blue would provide the contrast you are looking for and keeping within the Gram's color scheme. A beautiful dark green is what I personally would choose. I love the pattern and know that fabrics you currently have will be fabulous for such a design. Gram will love it and cherish you even more than she does not. Have a wonderful time creating your masterpiece, your Gram will only see the love and care you put into it for her!

This quilt is something I had in mind for my next project. Where could I find this pattern? Thanks girls, I think you all are awesome and I have learned so much! Sorry I'm not much help with the advise yet like you all, but I will get there someday...

Here's a blue and green quilt I made recently with not much contrast except for some darker green thrown in - it becomes a very soft and calming quilt. I like your colors and think the blu echeck might turn out to be more of a contrast than you think right now, depending on the percentage of use.

How about a rich dark green & a dark navy blue?
Sue thank you....why add another color? just enhance what she picked...I vote navy, but if green is what she is really wanting, then go with a nice rich hunter or emerald! |
Nothing wrong with low contrast quilts...I am sure your Gran will LOVE whatever you make for her. That said, as Sue said, adding a green and blue would probably give you the contrast it sounds like you may want in the quilt.

Not to change the subject but is this a pattern or did you make it up, I would love to make a quilt like this and I am not to good at creting my own. I like them both so what ever color you use your grandma will love it because of the love you put in it.
