The only thing I would maybe do when you go to add your other fabrics is to add another large-scale print, or maybe two, to balance out your FABULOUS floral print.<br /><br />I definitely think you are on the right track!<br /><br />Care.Carehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08830428131828226061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8677351562725022763.post-30921092322974740022010-05-02T18:24:08.455-06:002010-05-02T18:24:08.455-06:00I thought I had my fabrics picked out and that the...I thought I had my fabrics picked out and that they looked fine together, and since I do photo stuff, I thought I'd put a rough sample together. Seeing it all together I don't think I like it- I love your pink/blue/brown sample quilt (and I love the edges!) and thought this would be kind of similar, but this is too bright I think? I know I'd be benefited by adding 2 or 3 more fabrics- maybe one with some white in the design? Do I get rid of the green? or another color? Oh, I am the worst at making decisions! What does anyone think?
