I think it was Doreen Speckmann who said something like

"You don't really know how it's going to look until the pieces are cut and next to each other"

More than once I've had fabrics in bolts looking great together, but then I was not thrilled with them when I had them made up into blocks.

Is the pattern one you purchased? It looks quite intricate.....what will the size of each block be. Will,you use all 10 colors in each block, like a DWR?

I went to a local fabric store on Saturday and came home with 10 fabric pieces=you guessed it= purple and turquoise with touches of green. Can't miss color scheme. I like your idea of choosing a pattern for your lovely fabrics. Keep us posted!

Yes, the pattern is called X Factor Bargello. One ribbon will have 10 shakes of purple and the other will have ten shades of turquoise. It is a complicated pattern, and I still havn't decided for sure on my purple fabrics. I will make that decision today. Fun, fun, fun!

What a great idea! I've put fabrics together in all sorts of configurations in trying to figure out if I like them together, but I've never actually made a mini version of the quilt. It looks like it will be great!

Excellent color choices! Will be so pretty together. Nice too that your iron, scissors & cover coordinate with the colors. Can't wait to see blocks & progress & finished quilt. Kathy
