Queenbarbiej, Hey! Browns-- I'm choosing browns too. :-)
I would say that your B and C look like blenders, where the instructions say they should be medium to large prints that are multi-colored. Your E1 and E2 are blue and green, so different colors, where she suggested a light and dark of a color family, which I thought meant one color, like in her picture of her choices. I like both groups of fabrics though, the colors and your prints. :-) What do I know? I've decided to use plum for G, the white. |

I participated last year and liked the end result. It made a wonderful gift for my sister in law.
I’m going to go with it this year too. I recently purchased some of the Solana collection. Here is what I have so far. I’d welcome input. |
Beverly... your Solana collection is perfect for this mystery and I can’t wait to see how your quilt finishes up.
Teen, you crack me up but I’m confident you will find the right colors for this mystery...and it’s going to be fun. |

So, here's what I have. I bought the prints, and a couple of the blenders. I don't have a big stash as I only buy what I need for a project.
I think I need to swap out C for something lighter. It's too close to another of the colours. I'm sure I can find something for that in what I have. Fabric G is upstairs, somewhere. I've got lots of that. If nothing else, it's gonna be bright. https://cdn.quiltingboard.com/images...es/biggrin.png Watson |
Watson, that sure will be a bright quilt!
|
Watson....I love.these colors...that black background will make this colorway so dramatic and the colors will fly off the top... This will be a beautiful quilt..
|
Watson- wonderful prints in wonderful colors - what's not to like????
|
Watson, your quilt is going to be so cheery and fun! Love it!

Back on page 6 I posted my initial picks i called set 1and 2. I received my fabric order to fine tune my choices and have decided on my set 2 with a couple changes. But, I need y'all to let me know your thoughts on which fabric C I should use because I cannot decide! I like both of them. In the first pic I like the painterly style of the print but in the second pic I think the pink is better highlighted and brings all the fabrics together better. I realize my new fabric B is similar to fabric A but I think it is different enough to work - hopefully. Lol)
(For fun I've also added a pic of my original fabric set 1, updated. It's not as pizzazzi as the one I decided on, although I do like it. Also, Fabric A is directional with a border. Originally I wasn't concerned but since we may be cutting more from it, I decided I didn't want to chance it.) |
