Shopping my stash-which would you use?

The first picture is what I want to make. I know it's not much difference, but would you use the solid blue for the flower center or the pillow print? And I'm not sold on the box colors.
I should go buy more fabric, shouldn't I?

I would use the floral print. The blue seems out of place.

nativetexan 10-11-2015 12:44 PM

yep , me too.

I think I would shop my scraps and find a nice bright yellow print or solid for the flower center. Failing that, I would probably use the blue because on my monitor it seems to pick up the blue in the print.

How about this?

wildyard 10-11-2015 01:38 PM

That dark gray will work.

quilter2theend 10-11-2015 01:50 PM

I vote you use what you have. I think any of the colors would work. USE UP THOSE SCRAPS!!

hudgoddess 10-11-2015 05:38 PM

I don't know what to think. Thanks for your input, ladies. But if I can't count on you to support my fabric habit, who can I count on???��

quiltbea 10-11-2015 05:43 PM

I think the floral print would work great for a flower.

JustAbitCrazy 10-11-2015 07:20 PM

I like the floral fabric for the flower center best. I think it looks the best of all, and it will also make the pig's blanket match his/her pillow. Usually bed linens do match, so that's my vote.

BETTY62 10-12-2015 01:24 AM

Appears to me that you really need to feed your habit. Now off to the fabric shop for you.

I love the one with the pillow print. Is this your own drawing or a pattern. So cute.

paoberle 10-12-2015 03:13 AM

Use the blue.

Yooper32 10-12-2015 03:14 AM

First thought in my head was, I would use the floral in the middle of the flower. I guess my thinking is pretty much in tune with everyone else.

JENNR8R 10-12-2015 03:37 AM

Even though I like the floral, I wouldn't use it in the center of the flower and the pillow. I think it would look like there was a hole in the pig and we could see the pillow that the pig is laying on underneath.

So, really, what you want is for us to tell you to go shopping. Hey, if you want to shop, then go! Enjoy! Pick out something you LOVE! Have fun! (I am a fabric enabler... so is my DH.)

annette1952 10-12-2015 04:38 AM

First off I want to tell you your little pig is just adorable! Is this your own design? As far as the flower center I think the blue looks good but do you? You are the one that has to like it. You have a lot of good opinions here so have fun!

DebbieJJ 10-12-2015 04:46 AM

I vote you use the fabric in the 1st picture, but you do need to go shopping to fill in the gaps that are left by using up those fabrics!

ManiacQuilter2 10-12-2015 04:47 AM

I would try the colors you have chosen. If you are going to use a fusible, I would cut a little bigger piece and see if that layout looks good to you. I just find the color combinations to be excellent in the original picture. I like the rich purple for a blanket and the pop of colors for the flower. The lavender works for the inner ear..

HillCountryGal 10-12-2015 05:01 AM

I think you need different fabric for the box. **Go shopping girl! :)

And, I would audition all kinds of different solid colors and/or ones that read solid for the center of the flower.

I for one is a scrappy person, meaning using scraps wherever you can. So go for it lady, do the stash shopping and find what you think works best, that is a very cute idea you are working on. Without a doubt, you can make it work from your scrap stash. Looking forward to the finished product.

btiny36 10-12-2015 05:48 AM

I would do both....meaning use the blue....and go shopping lol....please tell us is this your own design or a purchased pattern...love love it...if you have designed it would you share....

pal 10-12-2015 06:51 AM

Really hope you don't mind, but I think you should try substituting the lighter pink for the pig and use the darker pink for some other part. (did I go too far?)

Mariposa 10-12-2015 06:56 AM

I'd use blue or yellow for flower center. What other colors were you considering for the box? Do audition those too. ;)

I should go buy more fabric, shouldn't I?

The reason he is such a happy little pig is because he is sleeping on a huge slice of chocolate torte with a nice big dollop of whipping cream on top. Take that away and he won't be a happy little pig anymore.
In my opinion, anyway.

I agree. Cute piggy!

I would use the floral print, it ties it together more

Oh Purl, you are a woman after my heart! A reason to go fabric shopping and a reverse inspiration/visual for the original box and bed!

And now I'm hungry.

DivaDee 10-12-2015 09:40 AM
