Ok ladies and gentleman. I'm getting in the mood for my retreat in November and I'm trying to pick out some fabric to match what I already have to save a little money.

I want to use the center and left fabric (not the green) but I need two more colors. The center and one of the strips.

The pattern I am using is under the fabric picture.

I like what you have so far. It is hard to see clearly in the picture, but are there not 6 colors in the fans?

I'd add a pink and some of that dark that's in the fabric - is it navy?

Opps I should have pointed out that I'm not gonna do the fans. I'm going to use a cream or white colored squares there in stead.

Definitely a rose or mauve blender type, then a print with mauve and blue flowers. WalMart has one in their basic fabrics that might work. I like green, but that one reads a little yellow to march the green in the paisley. It may be my computer and it will be fine sewn together. I love that green fabric in quilts. Do you remember where you purchased it?

The pattern is gorgeous. Such fun to have a dedicated time to work on it.

edit: I can see a navy blender, too. Because I'm not a blue fan, I tend to forget blues, but I do like a strong rose color with that paisley.

Irishrose, believe it or not, all three of those came from walmart.

Something to pick up the pink.

The green doesn't quite match the green in the print. How about using a pink instead? That would also brighten it up.

The green you have is too olive. You need a greener green. I'd definitely add a pink to pick up the pink in the print and you can probably add a navy too.
