Trying to design a quilt for my sister
 

Her bedroom colors are burgundy and gold and she likes floral. Browsing fabrics I came across this center panel and I just love it. The design is somewhat like a quilt I saw on searching for Asian panel quilts for ideas. I've been fussing with this for hours and still not sure about it. It looks plain but then I think that the Asian fabrics and the panel are the focus. I could do each fan in a different fabric and a very textural quilting pattern in the plain areas would jazz it up too. The sashing is a gold metallic scroll design.

What do you think?

Oh I think it is beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My goodness, that's a GREAT design! Quit fussing over it and get sewing!

I agree that textural quilting will only enhance the quilt.

Can't wait to see the finished product!

That's going to be stunning!

Beautiful design! Can't wait to see it when you get it done.

Stunning, dramatic quilt. I love it. You are very creative, and your sister will cherish it.

wonderful design, great color! I admire everyone who can do curves!

Beautiful quilt. You done a fantastic job on it. Not only the design but also the colors. If your sister dose not like it, I will be your other sister that will love & treasure it. Hee Hee

Thank you for the feedback. Looking at something for so many hours it's hard to "see" it clearly.

I have the fabrics in my cart ready to check out. Changed some of them but I also have FQs in Asian fabrics that I can use for the fans. Sent this to my sister to ask if this is what she wants.

I love it!!! Can I be your sister??????????

Absolutely Gorgeous!!! She will love it.

Beautiful design. I like the first version best. It is very elegant.

Orientals are my favorite, you did a wonderful job, love the layout

Wow it's gorgeous. I love both pics, but the change in the 2nd one is perfect!!!! make sure to post when it's done, so we can see the finished product

I think it is an awesome design as is!

Beautiful! Love the center!

It will be beautiful....

You did a wonderful job! I like the second a bit better as the color of the fans gives it a little "Pop" without taking away from the center piece. Please post when finished!

That's lovely! Bet she's going to LOVE it!

GORGEOUS!!!! I love it :)

Elegant design with stunning fabrics. I like the addition of blue in some fans and the increased texture of the fan background in the 2nd photo.

i like it just the way it is

I love it. Go for it.

It is beautiful.

I am very impressed. The fabric is amazing with the gold sashing. I agree textural quilting could only make something this exquisite only better.

very nice quilt

It's gorgeous. I wish someone would make me such a beautiful quilt.

I think it will be absolutely stunnning! Will look forward to seeing the finished quilt.

Just ordered the fabric. :) Already browsing filler quilting designs that look Oriental, Clam Shells will probably be one of them.

Love it!!!

Looks like a great combo to me!

Check out GreenFairy's blog. She has a quilt she just finished that will knock your socks off! Saw it last night and still can't stop thinking about it.

Thanks for the heads up on the tutorial. That would be nice in one round of borders. What I want to do on the outer burgundy border is this...

It looks like fans.

Your quilt idea is a 'knockout'.

I think you have a beautiful quilt that you are making for your sister, I hope she likes it, but if she doesn't you can give it to me. LOL I know she will love it. Great job.

Very nice job designing this quilt. Your sister will love it! The change in the 2nd picture is really nice. Love the addition of the blue to the corners.

Very "classy". Go for it.

If she doesn't like it, send it my way! ;-)

I also a liked the simple elegance of the first photo.

Beautiful quilt. Do you have any objections if someone uses it as a pattern? I would love to make one like it.
