They are beautiful, I think I would mix them.

Good eyes! I didn't catch that, but you're right. I think there are two photos of fabrics, and then she posted closeups for us.

I only see 3 photos so not sure what the 4th photo would be?? My explanation in my post is:

Here are my collections. The first photo is all fabrics, the second is the violet-blue one and the last is the violet-plum one.

I wanted to show them all together so you can see how they vary from each other but also a close up of each separate grouping so you can see clearer.

Thanks.

why not, great colors

Love your selections and I would, imho, certainly combine both groups for this pattern. It is gong to be awesome. It is a big quilt and can handle all this wonderful fabric. Please post as you go! I am going to subscribe to this thread So I can watch you build your star!

EDIT: @ post #17, I totally agree with this assesment of the colors. After looking again there needs to be more lights and darks to maintain the clarity of the design.

When I made the red one, there was no planning on the colors, just the tone so even though the quilt reads as a red quilt the colors wonder into the purples and maroons and rusts without repeating any fabric.

ube-so glad you found this thread. I was going to seek you out soon to see what you thought so thank you. I ended up with such a large collection of purple batiks that I found a second quilt that will work nicely as well so it will be twice as exciting.

I have to purchase most of my fabric online because of local selection (they only had 3 purple batiks that would even fit into my color range) and it is hard to truly see the accurate color online and that is why I ended up with so many of 2 different purple colors. I don't have as many darks as I would like and the darks from the violet-plum collection are quite a bit darker but I think it will work out. I'll make a few to start, mixing the various collections, and put them on my design wall to see how they look. I've probably got about a week or 10 days to finish the current quilt I'm working on and then I can get started.

A. , good luck and this quilt is going to be amazing! I'll be watching.

I was expecting to see the fabrics mixed up instead of separated in the top photo. To me, the second and third photos seemed to be the top photo separated into two sections.

wow, some beautiful batiks there, i'll take your scraps.
what does the rest of your stash look like

The next question is will you be using a contrasting thread for quilting? That could be a subtle way to bring in another color.
