color help?
Hello hello!!
I have been trying to declutter, and finish things. these blocks were from my elementary years . . . They'll finish at nine inches.
I don't have any more of the fabrics, but it wouldn't be very big if I did blocks only. I hate to purchase something to coordinate, but I could I suppose.
I have brown, but doesn't it need something to pop? The best I have on hand is red, and yellow. I have lost my objectivity! I am tempted to pass it on, but the family likes it . . . .
opinions please? My kids are no help, the husband is just glad the table is still visible.
I know I'll get honesty here! ;0))

Because I like signing other people up for extra work I am going to suggest that you make blocks with the red bordering the yellow....just a simple square of yellow with red around it, in whatever proportions suit you.
But if you decide to do a single colour block, definitely the red.

It depends on how you plan to quilt it. Are you going to do a fancy design in the plain squares? If so, I think I would buy a cream that kind of matches the sides of the original blocks. That way you would have a nice big space to put a feathered wreath in?
