Quilter 65 11-06-2014 02:06 PM

It grabs me, too. Wonderful. Adds nice variation.

Would never had thought to use gray but it's a perfect choice. Love your choice of colors and different prints. Please share when you have the top finished.

I am not a fan of gray but it does look nice!!

GingerK 11-06-2014 02:20 PM

My, that is very pretty. I like the way the grey makes the other colours pop. I also like the variation.

lfstamper 11-06-2014 02:22 PM

I love it too!

Diannia 11-06-2014 02:34 PM

Really pretty! I'm just putting together some scrappy 4 patches...I may have to rethink my alternating blocks!

Gail B 11-06-2014 02:44 PM

I love it. The grey just makes it pop.

Crqltr 11-06-2014 02:46 PM

It's going to be beautiful! I just bought a grey quilt kit at a show. Surprised myself!

What size blocks are you using?

RainyBC 11-06-2014 02:47 PM

Such a pretty pattern and I love the gray too - will be looking forward to the finished project.

annievee 11-06-2014 02:48 PM

Sure looks nice-I like the gray a lot-very pretty.

Kathy T. 11-06-2014 02:53 PM

That is going to be marvelous!

lynnie 11-06-2014 02:57 PM

what a lovely looking quilt. grey.....the new black

Barb in Louisiana 11-06-2014 03:03 PM

I am not a gray fan either, but I really like it with the prints you chose. I, also, rarely use solid color fabric. This is opening my eyes up to how good that look can be with the right prints. It's really going to be a pretty quilt.

Homemother 11-06-2014 03:23 PM

Lots like we all need to change our attitudes toward gray! I wouldn't choose to use it, but you demonstrate that it is an extraordinary color!

Caroline in Mo. 11-06-2014 03:41 PM

Im nbot making it,,,just saw it on Pinterest

I'm starting to like grey to when matched with bright colors. Are you sure you didn't come in my stash and use my fabrics? I see several that I have too. Your layout is very pleasing too.

katier825 11-06-2014 04:03 PM

that looks great! I seldom use gray, but will keep it in mind now that I see yours.

canmitch1971 11-06-2014 04:10 PM

I don't usually like grey but that looks nice.

I agree, I think the other brighter colors is what makes the gray so effective. Love this. :)

daisydebby 11-06-2014 05:00 PM

I, too, think it looks nice.....certainly surprizes me as I usually hate gray....

Lori S 11-06-2014 05:05 PM

Gray is my least used color in my quilts... but I am loving what you have done. Maybe I should be rethinking my favorite "go to" colors.

jeanne49 11-06-2014 05:08 PM

Love it. I am beginning to see a lot more gray in quilts. I'm not a real fan of that color but sometimes it just works.

Leslie333 11-06-2014 05:55 PM

I really like that! The gray is a great addition and makes the brighter colors pop!

mike'sgirl 11-06-2014 05:59 PM

I like it. I may have to use more gray myself.

sewingsuz 11-06-2014 06:07 PM

I like it very much, your colors are great together. Who would have thought.

redquilter 11-06-2014 06:25 PM

You know, you're right. Gray is hardly ever used. I have nothing against it - I own gray clothes - but would never think to use it in a quilt. I'm so glad you did. It looks wonderful. It goes so well with the other fabrics. Now that I'm looking at the picture again, I'm trying to think of what other color would look as good and I'm coming up empty!

Jackie Spencer 11-06-2014 07:02 PM

That is just beautiful, very striking!!!!

quiltjoey 11-06-2014 07:09 PM

I love the gray. It makes you want to just keep looking at the quilt! Very soothing and peaceful to the eye. I think it's lovely.
I have an Anita Arrowhead under way cutting and have some of the blocks make. It has gray in it...

QM 11-06-2014 07:55 PM

works well with the prints.

Mariposa 11-06-2014 07:57 PM

Pretty combination of fabrics. Love the gray! Please show us pics of your progress~

Grandma Peg 11-06-2014 09:00 PM

Really like the pattern and fabrics.

JuneBillie 11-06-2014 11:19 PM

It's gorgeous!!

twinkie 11-07-2014 03:10 AM

I think the grey is perfect. Very pretty.

youngduncan 11-07-2014 04:17 AM

While the grey makes the other colors "pop," it isn't as stark as a black might be. The grey is very soothing and makes the quilt warm and cozy.

QuiltingByFiona 11-07-2014 04:20 AM

Good one! Will look forward to seeing a picture when it is finished!

Geri B 11-07-2014 04:37 AM

..as poster then said..it's a pic from Pinterest, so we may never see the finished top, but I am putting gray on my shopping list too!

oldquilter 11-07-2014 04:42 AM

I like it, am a real gray person. Like gray cars and cats and quilts😉. Just made a gray and teal flannel comforter for a customer. She wouldn't choose a color, so that as my idea. Gray seems to make a lot of colors pop, kind of works with odd things.

Jordan 11-07-2014 05:27 AM

I love it-nice contrast with the grey. Lovely design too.
