I have some egyptian print material, a friend gave me. I'm going to make a quilt, with the egyptian print, as the whole panel. What I would like is, if anyone, will help me find a color, I would like to buy. Or any web sight material/shop/business's, I can check out. I'll post a picture, of 2 of the egyptian face's of the material. The other ? I have is what can I do for the border. I have a picture of 6 color(maybe 5 colors) I will use. Any suggestion's I will appreciate. Don-isewman

I love the fabrics, are you going to through in the fushia color anywhere? for me I would have to add a touch of that some where, maybe the binding or a very thin very thin strip around the quilt.. as one of the borders...Also I think I saw a hint of green in there.. I did one simular.. i did put a solid small border then I did strips different lengths and sizes sewed them together like a frame around it.. or flying geese would look good too.

Some of the green would work and maybe a little of the fushia. I have been happy with http://www.fabric.com prices, fabric and customer service. Keep us posted

I really love your focal fabric and the others you chose to go with it.
IMHO the purple pops out enough on it's own. I love how you are drawing out the blue though. And it will play very nicely with the other colors in the border :D:D:D

i think the fuchsia would look stunning with the brown and beige.

For sure add some fuchsia and green to compliment those colors in your fabric. IMHO

So glad to see you are going to keep the panel intact. I followed your initial post to see what happened. I agree with working some of the fuschia in as a border and really like the other colors you have chosen.
