I picked up this fabric last night at Walmart...I just have to add too that I'm really impressed with the modern print and quality of this fabric! Cranston VIP you're stepping up your game there... ;)
Anyhow I'd like to make a 3d pinwheel like I've seen in the tutorial section for my baby girl who's due the end of April. I'm going to use the floral and dark pink for borders and backing, and the other fabrics for the pinwheels. Do you think I should add some green to this? My only concern is the green that goes with this collection is a lot more vibrant than the green in the leaves and vines of the floral. Or do you think it's fine alone with just the fabrics shown? |
I think this selection is great. Wonderful choices:)
|
I really like the green. I would add it if I were you
|
If the greens you are talking about using are the ones you have pictured, then I would definitely use them. If it is another green not pictured, can't tell you without seeing it.
|
I love the colors you have showing. The darker green of the two makes the other colors pop.
Can't wait to see the finished item. |
I know it's tough without showing the fabric - but the green really borders on a lime green. It's not dark like the green in the vines of the floral...this is why I'm so torn! ;)
|
I think you have a very nice group of fabrics there. I would use what is shown.

I would say it would add if you went with the darker green, but most definately would "pull" your eye away from the pink pattern. So, it depends on where you want the focus of your quilt. I like the combo as it is!
|
I like what you have chosen.
|
Take a picture of the green with the fabrics and let us see.

Love the fabric and the green gives your eye a place to rest,just my opinion
Really nice fabric.... |

|
You've got a lovely combination already.
|
It is fine with this selection. I am going to Walmart because of these colors.
Thank you! |
They are just beautiful. I love the green.
|

Looks good to me with what you have. Enjoy making and be sure to post a picture of the finished quilt. :)
|
Gorgeous, definitely use the green!
|
If you find the right shade of green - it can be used in most any quilt.............. love your combination. I say yes.
|
Are you calling the tealish fabrics pictured here green, or is there another green? I love what you have pictured, but would NOT add a limey green. I know white gets dirty easily, but I like to add a bit of white to my baby quilts. It lightens up the quilt, and lends that "pure, new baby" feel to the whole thing.
I found a fabric that is white with small widely spaced pastel polka dots, and I adore it in baby quilts. It complements pink, yellow, blue, soft green, etc. So far, I have gifted three baby quilts with that fabric worked in, in small doses, and every single person has said, "Wow, I would not have thought to add white, but I LOVE it!!" Your fabrics are all pretty much light to medium, so white would brighten the palette. Just my two cents worth... |

I love what you have pictured just as it is
A white might lighten it a bit but I would not add a green in the "lime" shade. |
I like the group as shown. keep the green.
|
I just found tonight a Walmart that has a few fabrics for quilting. I was shocked thought they all closed down the fabrics here in Oklahoma..
|
Absolutely - perfect fabrics - can;t wait to see the product - beautiful.
|
I would use what you are showing in your picture. They will make a lovely quilt.
|
I like your choices as you have them shown... I think it will be perfect for baby quilt.
|
I would add the green pop, however your selection is very beautiful

I love those colors together.
|
I would had the green for that extra little pop.
|
My vote is to use what's in the picture. I am not a pink/green person but I really love the fabric combination you've chosen. I think it's perfect "as is".
|
Looks good to me. Go for it and send a picture when your done would love to see the quilt.
