possible quilt combo
 

I am looking around for ideas.this may work-the solid is a light blue chennile.I was looking for baby boy combos from the stash.do you think this works?

I'm not really fond of the chenille with the batiks. Do you have any other pale blue that you could try?

you have enough, the chenille would make a wubberly back. :)

I really like it! And I love the turtles!

i think patricej has a great idea

I had not thought of that a back it will be.I may have to piece it a little.thanks for the idea.

I like this combo because the chenille has a "stripes" look that give it a little more interest than a plain fabric.

i like the combo a lot and the turtles will make a nice focal fabric. :-) keep us posted!

I love the chenille and the turtle batik...not crazy about the shade of the solid blue with it

I may have a brighter blue somewhere---will look for it

I like the C and turtles. The blue may be a bit intense with the softer look of the other fabric. Put up anothe rmore gentle blue and lets see it again!

Like the idea!

I think they look pretty good!!

Love the chenille and the turtles, but think I'd go with a blue that has a little more green in it. Maybe a lighter shade of teal.

LOVE the turtle batik. Where did you get it?

I like the chenille it adds texture which is important for babies. He' s going to be staring at those turtles and the solid dark that or the brighter blue will be a nice contrast.

I really like your combination - although a slightly brighter blue would be even better! Can't wait to see what you do with it.

I really like the three together. The chenille will be so soft!

Love it! I like the idea of the chenille because of the tactile feature, babies love to explore different textures. You might want to back the chenille with some thing to stabilize it. can't wait to see it finished!

I'm with not mixing fabric types but you are on right path. A pale yellow as accent would work.

I like it . I have used vintage chenille many times for backing on baby quilts. I love it but it is a little harder to quilt.

I have not quilted chenille yet-but have quilted on minky.minky terrified me,lol-but it turned out great.

I think it will be perfect for a boy quilt. I have trouble finding suitable boy fabric. These are great!

I like it!

I don't want to sound negative, but I'm not crazy about the chenille with the batik - unless as Patrice said - a backing would be cozy. I also don't care for that shade of dark blue. Just my humble opinion.

I, too, like the idea of the chenille for the back. If you limit the quantity of the dark blue, because it's so intense, and add an accent--how about a light to medium, limey green, to add a watery look--it should work very well. And the pattern you use will make a big difference in the finished look.

I think the chenille would be a wonderful textural accent to the batiks. Babies love texture and color. (IMO just a speck of red somewhere might not hurt.) He would feel as well as see the quilt. Since blue and turtles really says "little boy", I think he will love it. Post a pix so we can see what you do.

I like the turtle and the solid, I'd use the chenille on the back but using on the front would give the baby a texture to play with.

I like the combination. The turtle outlines are kind of "bumpy" like the chenille. I think you did great and can't wait to see the finished baby quilt.

I like it. What pattern are you using? I, too, think an accent color would be nice (like the green or yellow someone else mentioned).

I think that it is a great combo of blues and fabrics and would make a great modern looking quilt. Go for it and send a picture in when done.

I like the Color combo, but wonder if the chennile will work with the Batics, Batics usally have no give to them al all, where the chennile has alot. But I look forward to the finished quilt.

I agree the solid blue seems not quite right...the turtles and chenille will be great!

Love your fabrics! The chenille for the back will be fun. Would look for another couple of fabrics to incorporate as well. Maybe another lighter blue (possibly a shade or two darker than the chenille and some other accent color. This will be an adorable quilt.

great combo !!

It seems really nice to me.......

I really like it, I recently did a quilt with chenille, and it looked great. I did a simple 4 patch with every block chenille, was worried about quilting the chenille but no problem, I put a simple star in each chenille block. I did not have to back the chenille. Note that cutting caused a dust storm in my sewing room.

thanks for this info

I like it and thank you for sharing
Have a Blessed day
