First, I really hope my photo attaches. And if it doesn't, I'm sure sorry.
I am not very good at visualizing fabrics. I am trying to post a picture of some Asian fabrics that I purchased with the folded Dahlia in mind. Now I'm second guessing myself. I'm not sure there is enough contrast. Also, I only need 7 fabrics and this package includes 10. So assuming you think this fabric would be pretty, which ones should I leave out? Or would the pretty Asians be put to better use on a project that shows more of each fabric.
Thanks for your help.
If the photo doesn't come through, the fabrics are Asian, as I said, with a lot of purple and gold, some black and a touch of turquoise.

Hey! It looks like posted! I'm looking forward to opinions. Some of the quilts I've seen on here are amazing combinations of colors I would have never thought to put together.

Those fabrics are beautiful. I would use something else for the folded Dahlia, and use those fabrics in something that shows more of the fabrics. I'm sure that anything you use them for will be beautiful.

These fabrics are gorgeous! The folded daliah is beautiful, but I think I would save this material for a quilt where the material really stands out. Love it!!!!

I love your fabrics!! I, too, would use them in something that would show them off more. Did you buy them online?

Thank you so much for your thoughts. I think you are right. I think the dahlia won't show enough of the pattern. I knew there was a reason I could not bring my self to cut it yet! Now I'll have to find a pattern for something that would be better suited to this fabric. I'm open to suggestions. Anyone? Anyone?
Oh, and I bought it on Ebay. I don't think it was an online quilt shop. I think it was just an individual.

From what I've seen of the folded dahlia it's more about the different shades instead of using the prints. Save the prints where they can be seen. This is beautiful fabric and would be wasted on the flower all folded up.
