I like it. It would be fun for snowball or square in a square. Always fun for a quilt back! Go for it.

Love your fist picture. Which line of fabris that? Depending on what pattern you are using for your quilt you could tone it all down a little with some solids from the colors in the first picture and really do a lot with it.

Thanks for sharing.

POosterman, I love the way you used the print fabric. None of it looks too busy to me. I find that if I lay the fabric on something, like my couch, and stand way across the room... they look more like various shades of color rather than focusing on the busyness of all the fabrics.

I think if you used sold fab as border it would not be bad, I like the fabric.

I think the first one would make a good wall hanging

That fabric would be very nice for a journal, sewing organizer or something of that nature. The contrasting fabrics could be used for pockets andbinding.
