    I started my first quilting project tonight. I'm going to try to make a table runner. The pattern called for three fabrics but I bought four by mistake. Now I'm confused as to which two of the three I should use. :roll:
    WHat do you think is the best?

    Edited to add: I cut two of the three fabric correctly but messed up on the green. That's ok cause I figured I'd end up cutting all of them wrong. :lol:

    Second choice..the green shows up dark here

    Third choice...the green in this one is more true

    I'm leaning toward this one...brown and rust

    I like the first one also. It reminds me of the rich fall colors.

    They're all lovely. Pick the one you like best and have fun. You will have lots more projects to play with. That's the best part about quilting!

    My vote is for choice #1, too. Very pretty autumn color scheme.
