I like the thoughts of another blue.

I think the pink or peach in the med. blue would be nice. Love tone on tones as Irishrose suggests.

I too would go with the peachy color.

Thats what I would do, too. You need a contrast to bring it to life.

I agree...the peach/pink(?) color would be my choice.

If I added anything to that group, it would be a pink or peach

I agree, soft peach. I love the lover's knot.

Hard to tell from pictures, but what is those little daubs of color in the flowers? Orange or peach? Maybe make that your 4th color. It would bring out the flowers.

WOW? and before I start cutting which for border? binding? I seem to be having trouble visualizing this project for some reason - book shows so many options and not sure if would be better to make the background dark or light. any feedback would be so appreciated - no quilting/sewing friends around me to consult with!

Can you find a med. dk Blue. about the color of the flower blossoms in the light blue print?

I think it needs a bright color, perhaps a warm color like Yellow. White would also be nice.
