I like the lavender on the left the best of the three you've shown.

Patricia Drew 01-23-2020 09:35 AM

I vote for the lavender on the left too!

I actually believe that using all 4 and adding a sharp gold or bright yellow would pull each of your colors right out.

I don't think the purples go with the floral. I like the middle one.

I agree with this

None of the choices really match do they? But of the three I prefer the redish color in the middle best.

I agree....don't think any of the choices really match.

my thoughts, also.
The center one seems really "bright" compared to the floral print - I think it would be okay in small doses.

All i want to say all of your quilts come out beautiful.

zozee 01-24-2020 01:54 PM

I think they’re all pretty but don’t really go with the florals. Do you have some pinks, creams and golds?

quiltingcandy 01-24-2020 02:06 PM

Unless the computer altered the colors I don't think they go together either. The Floral is more muted and a dusty rose or various shade of mauve. I liked the idea of the golds and various degrees of green.

Dolphyngyrl 01-25-2020 04:25 PM

Redish, purple don't go imho

I think it is your quilt and you should use the one you like the best.

vadalia 01-25-2020 07:11 PM

Count me as one who likes all three. I think the floral just looks a bit muted because of the white/colorless parts. The flowers themselves look just as color saturated as the other fabrics to me.

I love your choice of colors and would add a cream and a grey/green
to balance the lavenders. I don't know what pattern you plan to use,
but do love the colors. Post your progress please.
I can't wait to see your quilt.

My first reaction was "close but not quite". There is something not quite "right" with the selection.I am wondering if the print is and older fabric and the others newer and the color intensity is different. Just a guess. I have a print that is close to what you have and it is lovely in the bin but every time I take it out to us, nope, just creeps back into the bin.

Can you do a different direction and use some greens and creams? It may all depend on your stash. You asked for opinions and you got them! :) We are an opinionated bunch. Happy quilting, no matter what you choose.

I love these threads! Matching fabrics is my weakness. It’s so informative to read everyone’s point of view. I’m with WMUTeach......my first reactions was greens and creams with floral.

I think you asked because you're not sure you like them either. The floral print has orchid not lavender or rose. To make the floral the main attention getter, use a cool color, ie. grey green.
