i've made a couple table runners from that pattern. the first one, the fabrics went together beautifully, but just didn't seem to have enough contrast...

the second one i used colors that had more contrast & i liked that one much better...

that being said, both receipients loved theirs.

I agree completely and teal is also my favorite color. I suggest you make a border with the lighter one and bind with the darker one on a DP-9. How stunning that would be. Take a picture and send when you are done.

P.S. You sure DO have lots of quilting friends nearby to ask :) :) :)

I have that same printed fabric, and the orange in it would be great to make the quilt pop. Love that fabric, made a purse out of mine.

I'm not good about color (I only know whether I like it when I see it together, and I love the 3 you have.)

I really think you need something to make it pop and it is hard to see the colors but use fabrics with different size prints. To many plain fabrics will make it look blah. I rarely use one color and almost never use a solid.

I'd use white or the peachy color in the print fabric. Depends on how comfortable you are with the peach.
I would probably use the white myself, just not that daring to use the peach.
