I have what seems like miles of this fabric cut into 2 1/4" strips. Each strip is insanely long, almost like someone cut a whole bolt's thickness into strips. I've got 6 strips like this and wanted to use it to make a quilt. I thought about a 9 patch (unless there's a better idea) and wanted something other than white as the 2nd fabric due to the sections of white in the print. I have no color sense at all so I need some help. On my screen the colors are pretty close to true.

Maybe two solids or blenders ,a rose and a green. The sew the strips together and do a Rail Fence.

Black, very dark green. I would go dark to make them stand out.

I'd go with a deep, rich burgundy blender -- not solid burgundy but something with a mottled effect.

Or... after a quick look around, I might try something like the Mauve in this collection from Connecting Threads: http://www.connectingthreads.com/cfF...144&startRow=1

I think I found your fabric on Marshall's Dry Goods. It's a pre-printed dresden plate fabric. Here's a link to a nice picture of it. It has lots of pink in it. Hope this helps.

I would use a gold print, not solid, the same color as in the tiny flowers.

My first thoughts were for coordinating rose and green colors. But I like the burgundy suggestion. If you really wanted a pop of color, I see a bit of yellow in the strip and think a little yellow would add contrast if that is what you are looking for.

I like the coordinating rose and green colors too. Actually, I was thinking that since there are already long strips, to use that as the binding, too. Maybe sashing and binding and find other fabrics for the blocks.

Thank you for the suggestions on the colors. I'm going to take each color combination and try them out to see what looks best. Now for a different question. Do you think the 9 patch is a good use of these strips or would you choose another option?
