    WOW!!! These quilts are BOTH lovely!

    BUT - as you ask (and not becasue these quilts are not great!) - I would consider the scales of the fabrics you choose, in any project I try to combine large florals (or prints) with smaller designs and plains, plaids, dots, marble blenders etc.

    I do also like to add a bit of variety and I add a fabric that includes a second colour like a multi coloured print which features blue, to a lesser or greater extent.

    Keep up the great work - love the quilts!!!

    Your quilts are beautiful, but I think I know what you mean about
    the "wow" factor. I think it is not so much a "wow" it's just that they don't "pop" Jinny Beyer has an excellent video on you tube:

    If anyone knows how to get that "wow" factor it's her.
    I think every quilter should watch it twice.
    She does know her colors. JMHO.

    I think they are beautiful!!!
