Default What is your opinion?

I am in the process of designing my next quilt. Here are the fabrics.

What is the first pattern that comes to your mind when you see this color/fabric combination? Thank you for your input :-)

D9P is all that comes to my mind. Simple and scrappy!

Scrappy, log cabin or layer cake.

The first set of purple ones makes me think of a rail fence quilt.

To be honest, I don't think the second row of fabrics compliments the first row.

I agree with Candace. I think it is the grey & yellow that is the jarring fabric for me.

Perhaps a trip around the world?

Cheers, K

My opinion would be that these should be two separate quilts. I don't believe that the colors go together at all. Good luck

I always pick the quilt design and THEN the fabrics. I think all of these fabrics would work on something scrappy.....but you'd more have to mix them together and add a few more. Use the white as a background and just about any scrappy pattern would work.

I agree at first I thought it was just the gray/yellow but no it's the second row they don't play well with the top row. If you took out the gray and light pink and used green/pink/purple print and mostly solid green that should make it less jarring. Or just remove the gray leave the pink and add a green

I'm gonna vote for 3 different quilts. One out of the first row (add more fabrics and make it scrappy), one out of the second row (same thing), but remove the gray paisley and start a new fabric collection for a third quilt using the gray paisley as the starting point.

Love that paisley!
