it is directional fabric. do you want it to go in all directions or "fussy cut" so it will flow in one direction.

I'm with you! that fabric makes me woozy to look at it! Hopefully whatever you put with it will 'calm' it down a bit :lol:

Might be neat if you added that blue shade in it & a brown, both solids, to add to your prints shown. I think it would add more contrast to your quilt, adding either one, or both, in solids. Pretty fabrics, but not sure of just the two, alone together...

Wheeww!!! I'm not sure I'd be able to work with the brown but the blue wouldn't be bad. Am anxious to see your finished product. You do wonders with fabric!!!

Sounds perfect, and the pattern fits the name.

I like the second better. For me, it has more depth of color. and you could pair it with other blues, greens, tans. has an ocean waves look to it. IMHO :)
