For starters, I would pick out a white or light cream fabric, as well as a medium blue, maybe a light pink and then a navy or black for contrast. Just be sure there is enough contrast between the fabrics to highlight the pattern of the quilt. That's what I would do anyway. By the way, don't you love that paisley? That fabric has been around a long time in different colors, it's almost a staple in a fabric stash, and it's very pretty. Keep us posted on how you're doing.

It is called a Log Cabin Shaded Broken Star quilt. It is a stand alone pattern I picked up in Shipshawana, Indiana. It is done by Log Cabin Creations.

I'm gonna use a cream color for the back ground.
