I went to JoAnn's today and fell in love with this blue/yellow/green corn flower print. I'm not sure if I picked well with the other prints. I bought 2 yards of the white print, one yard of the yellow and what was left on the bolt of the blue,1.694yards.
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?

Got a picture?

Look out, you're gonna get hooked!

Ooops I'm sorry. Going to get picture now. Dohhhhhhh

Oh yes indeed, you did well. Can't wait to see how you put it together.

You did great picking out your fabric, very pretty. If you have never quilted before a simple pattern is called: warm wishe, I'm sure you can google it or even check the tutorials on the board for options, have fun with whatever you decide an share a photo when you finish. I would love to see your creation.

Gorgeous combination!

Your combinations are great. What kind of easy pattern are you looking for? Are you up to half-square triangles? A basic star would be nice, try patterns at http://quiltville.com or http://quilterscache.com. If you want to do the same theme block over and over again,do quiltville, if you would like to do a sampler, go to quilterscache, and there are plenty of easy patterns, including paper piecing, applique, and plain old block construction, and the directions are really easy, and there is also a lot of patterns that are easy on the tutorial section of the board. Good luck.

Your fabrics are beautiful and look like they will play well together!

Yes, you did !!
as for pattern one of the ladies has an avitar it was "Whats Knot" by Rita Fishel it is pretty and cute! :)
Happy Quilting

Those fabrics look very good together! Good Luck!!! I am pretty sure you will get hooked on quilting.

I like your color combinations and you have plenty of contrast, which I really like. It will be beautiful.

Very pretty...well chosen. Warm wishes sounds like a good one to start with. Keep us posted...we looooove pics!

oooh pretty

Love all of the colors!

Nice color choices. You did do good.

You did great choosing the fabrics but be careful - quilting is very addictive.

Those fabrics are so pretty! If it were *me* I would lean more on the floral, the blue and the gold, and use the green as accents. Can't wait to see how this turns out!

love your selection of fabrics.

If you are 1/10 as good at piecing and quilting as you are at picking out fabric you will awe us with your finished quilt. Wow great picks.

You did great! Love the combination. My first block was an Ohio Star http://www.quilterscache.com/O/OhioStarBlock.html

You can browse this website http://www.quilterscache.com/QuiltBlocksGalore.html for a ton of free quilt blocks patterns and make a sampler.

You have a great eye for color. I also suggest the Warm Wishes pattern. Type in to the search field on the site, there is a lot of information there.

Beautiful fabrics!! You are great with color !! Have fun!! :D
And don't say we didn't warn you about getting hooked lol

Oh, that fabric combination has D9P written all over it!

Simply adore the colors :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Split rail would be pretty also. http://www.quilterscache.com/R/RailFenceBlock.html

or this zig-zag

It will be beautiful no matter what block you pick!

You did very well at picking out your first fabrics.... I think you will do very well at quilting too. Please be sure and show us pics of your quilt. I also think that Quilters cache is your best bet for choosing your first block.
Good luck to you and may you have lots of fun with this!

Whewwwwwwwwwwww Thank you all for the nice compliments and suggestions. I'm leaning toward the Ohio Star or Warm Wishes at the moment. Not sure yet, my first attempt needs to be fairly easy. lol I'm biting my nails wondering if I can really do this.

You did great. (My favorite colors.)

If you choose the Ohio Star, I would recommend that you try a practice one before you cut up your new fabric. Just my opinion. I teach this block in beginning quilting, but not as a first block.

Thank you,Sadiemae. I'll take your advice. I do really like WarmWishes too.

I'll have to look up the Warm Wishes, I have never made that one.

I realy like the colors you picked. Ready set and go!

I did a search. There are tons of Warm Wishes quilts. I really liked the ones with contrast. There were some really pretty ones. Your fabrics have good contrast and all go really well with the flowers. It would be beautful with the flowers in the center. Good luck on whichever you choose.

I say go with the warm wishes pattern, it's a lot of fun and it will look fantastic with your colors. Enjoy quilting no matter what you choose but post a pic for us. We love to see eachothers work.

looks perfect to me.

I love the fabric. My suggestion for a block is rail fence. I am a beginning quilter myself. My other suggestion is to look through books and magazines for some suggestions. Lots of them put difficulty levels on their pattersn. Be sure to let us know what block you decide and show us your progress. Good luck and welcome to the wonderful world of quilting.

You did a great job of picking colours & values

warm wishes would look nice and easy to make

Love the colors!
