Sorry about the second one being a little bit dark, but with the flash the colors were all washed out. Thanks.

Love the colors! Please show us when it is done.

I really agree with your choices and they will look great in this pattern. This is an extraordinary pattern and I cannot wait to see yours finished.

I don't have enough experience to judge if the selections are right for your quilt....If they aren't, please send them to me. They look good enough to eat. :lol:

Hi Linda,

I just had a class with Judy Niemeyer about a month ago. She helped me with the color selection by having me open several packages and then we just started making sets by pulling together ones that work well from each pack, making sure we went from light to dark. I just picked the sets that went well together and brought those to class. I showed them to Judy, she started picking colors (she loves to pick colors) and then I started picking as well. [She is a great teacher.]

All your sets look good. Pick 4 or 5 that you like best and make your sets out of those. How large is your quilt going to be?


I was able to find the suggested colors for the background and stars at online QS's.

I now have lots of loose strips to use for other projects, but her point was for me not to stuck to the colorways of the individual Bali Pop sets.

Love your fabric, can't wait to see it finished. Love the pattern but am afraid to tackle a wedding ring or star.

Love your selections and love red in a quilt.. pls show us the final product. :-P

Your fabrics are PERFECT! I love the pop of red - all quilts need a 'zinger' fabric, IMHO.

Love JN patterns - am working on one now. Enjoy the journey :thumbup:

I think your colur choices are lovely. I admire anyone who can make such nice selections. I always have a problem sorting out what colours go together, or don't.
