I think the turquoise would be too blendy. Purple and teal really are amazing colors together, I think it would be beautiful if you stuck with the batik.

Thank you for the imput. I'm beginning to think that it is the circles that I don't like! I'm going to make up an actual square and see if that changes my mind!

My soon to be DIL knows about the quilt and she sews also, maybe I should ask her which she prefers...............?

I have another batik somewhere in the basement in a box, going to dig it out.

I'm not crazy about the circles either, while I adore the fabric, the circles will probably be too much for the wedding ring, as they're already circles! Definitely don't go blendy - contrast is what appeals to our eyes... which is probably why you don't like the circles... too many curves, no contrast!

I agree with Ladygen's comment about Circles with circles!
Although I do like it better than that first solid....
The colors on the second make everything POP in your other materials...

Very pretty fabrics. Can't wait to see the finished product. Maybe you can show us "progress" pics as you get started on it?

Here are some of the rings and the new background I found. It is hard to see in the picture but the colors are right on. I like it cause it isn't traditional, just like the wedding couple.

I REALLY like the latest background fabric you have picked!!!!! It is swirly, but not circles and I think it will be absolutely gorgeous. Your wedding ring fabrics look great against it.
