Opinions appreciated.

Just couldn't wait to get something so I could try my hand at this quilting thing. lol
I figured I'd start out with a simple block, any suggestions?

Try a Turning Twenty......easy and would look great with these fabrics...

You also need a dark in there, it will help balance the quilt.
you have very light and 2 mediums. I do like the fabrics that you've chosen. Also you could put in another size of print to add interest.

purplefiend I don't get what you mean by "you have very light and 2 mediums". I have four fabrics,one light and two mediums with a dark. I consider the blue a dark.

Cindy from what I can see in your photo, it looks like the 2 lights are the same value & the other 2 fabrics look like the same value also.
The quilt tops pictured are showing how fabrics work together depending on whether the fabric is light,medium or dark.
