love the pattern and that paisley fabric... did you try a maroon center? she will adore it ...

On my 'puter, the green looks olivy-taupy. It's very pretty. A later post suggests the maroon center. I like that idea.
the contrast would make the "green" around it pop.

I like the green but the one that looks purple, I would change to peach, or a dull orange, or a muted pink :D

Thanks everyone:)

I did end up doing maroon in the center. it was an amazing difference! The green is an olivy sort of color with cream and taupe stripes. I have half the pieces sewn together. Hoping to finish all the pieces tonight and start sewing them all together. Shouldn't take too long.

Nice! We're ready for another pic then...pretty please??

Oh my goodness. The paisley fabric is the same fabric I used in my double irish chain. I love that fabric. Your green looks Ok to me.

I fell in love the paisly print as soon as I saw it. I resisted 2 times in the store. After that, I could no longer say no, it called to me...LOL


Pics will be coming soon I promise:) I just finished sewing all the blocks. I had to cut a few more tonight. I'll be putting them all together in a few min. Just letting my iron heat up right now so I can iron the seams.

Do you have any idea of how you want to quilt it? I've noticed that many of my friends who have a long arm business often find that a quilt top they are working on seems to be missing something and they usually take the opportunity to do some amazing quilting on it. It could just be a design or they use thread that really adds to the top. Would that help in this situation?

I'm looking forward to seeing an updated picture. I love the green (I like olives and khaki colors) and think it looks lovely. I think your cousin will be very touched at the care and effort you have put into it!

I love it and hope you post a picture when you are finished!!

I like it and bet the maroon looks great. What kind of binding are you going for, if it's there then I need to clean my glasses, lol. I would go with a stripe with maroon.
Don't you just love everything fabric??? C
