Fabric used for my Aurora Borealis

BuckeyeRose....thanks so much for posting start-to-finish progress.... This is such an inspiration to us fairly new to quilting ...Your selection of fabric tones mesh beautifully here.....
Eazy peazie? .... You make it sound so simple - However, I think it takes a lot more than I have to offer: I need to develop a bit more patience, precision, discipline-and-dedication-to-task, and a much better eye for color-coordination.
ManiacQuilter - Did I miss your posting of your Aurora Borealis? ... and will you keep us posted on your upcoming Sunset Island ?....
I know some don't like to post until some time after finishing - perhaps due to constraints of quilt-contest-competition or somesuch? -- but I am thankful for each posting. I learn so much about quilting from you ladies and gentlemen who are so generous in sharing the nitty-gritty of projects ....
I am particularly interested in seeing bargello and scrappy projects; they give a better lesson on just how critical such careful choices of color and tone and fabric design become --That interplay produces excellent results -
With so much fabric displayed in stores at one time, it is difficult for me to see how it all comes together .... I like to blame my inability-to-coordinate on the lighting in those stores In our store, the lighting is so terrible that sometimes I feel I don't see the true colors in that setting. -- oops, I'm getting waaaay off-topic...
Thanks again, ladies .... I'll be watching your bargellos come to life.

Absolutely *W*O*W* I am in the process of starting one, all in blues and aquas, for my sister-in-law. She wants fish appliqued to it. So far I have all the strips cut and my first strata sewn together. Yours is beautiful and I hope mine should be so good.

oooohhh!..Very pretty fabrics. I think picking out the fabrics was the hardest part. I spent a month going from fabric store to fabric store, laying out what I already had and trying to find the perfect shade to fit in. I found the very last one in a small LQS just north of Chicago (was on a trip to see daughter). Then the reality set in that I was gonna have to start washing, ironing and cutting.
:lol:
