Ordered the pattern Surprisingly Red!
 
1 Attachment(s)
I love this pattern and the red is pretty but I want it for a wall hanging in my living room. The room has brown leather, orangey/brown chairs with beige cushions, orange striped pillows, a muted orange accent wall, etc. so I want something more subtle. I want to bring in some of the blue and will add more touches of that in the room.

The focus fabric will be the outer border, the steel gray/blue will be where the red circle is, the Plaster Ivory will be the inner border, the spikes in all the other colors, and the light blue replaces the green.

Wow that is a gorgeous pattern and your color selection is terrific. Sure looks like it will take forever to do if it were me, so I hope you can work faster than that!!! It is gorgeous. Is that a Judy Neimeyer pattern?

LOVE LOVE LOVE your color selections! Did you pick out the other corresponding colors, or were they 'suggested' at (wherever you found the Serenity line). Gorgeous mix!

It's by Jaqueline de Jonge. She does the Be Colorful quilts.

Beautiful - very ambitious, keep us posted on your progress. Love your colors

I picked out all the colors/fabrics. I am still playing with it a little bit, mainly now looking at contrast so the bottom three solids may go because I'm not sure where they would be placed. I have the cart loaded and will probably pull the trigger today.

WOW!!! This is a knockout! Send us pictures as you go.

It should turn out beautiful! I made this pattern but enlarged it to fit a king size bed.

Placed the order today. :) I made a few changes, got rid of large prints and substituted prints for the solids because I think they might be a little flat looking. Excited to start on this.

This is the room it is for, either behind the couch or on the wall opposite it.

Tweety2911 03-22-2013 04:47 PM

All my favorite colors!!! They will make a gorgeous quilt!

Love the pattern but I won't be doing it. I am not that skilled. Love to see the finished product.

lizzy 03-23-2013 04:33 AM

Just beautiful, will look forward to seeing the finished quilt. The colors you chose are great.

gabeway 03-23-2013 05:42 AM

Will look awesome.

Iraxy 03-23-2013 06:50 AM

To tell you the truth, if I walked into that room and that quilt was on your wall I would not even notice that you had furniture!

BrendaK 03-23-2013 06:54 AM

Look forward to seeing the finished quilt. It will be beautiful. I didn't see lizzy's post until I was finished here. Guess we both think alike. BrendaK

JoanneS 03-23-2013 07:13 AM

Once you hang that quilt, you won't have to dust - no one will notice!
I'm looking forward to your progress pictures.
