    OK all. I think I am finally decided on which fabrics I am using with my focus fabric for this mystery, of course, there is still plenty of time to change my mind, LOL.

    So, I am using the golden tan for background.
    Red: Main color 1
    Green: color 2
    Dark brown: inner border
    lavender: color 3
    lighter brown: color 4
    darker lavender: 2nd accent
    purple/green batik: accent
    And of course the vineyard for the focus.
    What do you all think? They are mostly batiks here.
    Missy, will this work :lol: :mrgreen: ???

    Hurmm.. that red might over take the quilt m'friend.. Do you have a more 'muted' red? or something that will go with the darker lavender? Maybe it's the picture, but I don't think the red goes w/ the dk. lavender. Everything else is fine! The red you have may 'take over' the quilt and you'd loose all the other pretties.

    Hmmm..I sort of planned for the red to take over, LOL. And it actually does go with the darker lavender(well, in my eyes :XD: ). I don't have muted red, but there are 7 quilt shops near me :mrgreen: :lol:

    I want in on this. I thought there were just 6 fabrics. I have the butterflies for focus, the light purple for background and 5 more...I don't want those greens all clumped up on the wall hanging...help!
