Which Fabric?
5 Attachment(s)
I have an anniversary quilt I am putting together for friends celebrating 5 years. The fabric with the blue, green and brown designs is the the background, but I am having trouble choosing a fabric for the silhouette I am going to applique onto it. I am on a VERY tight budget, so what you see is what I have. What would you do?

Dresdens would compliment the back ground fabric especially since you're going to applique.

I realize you said that you're on a budget, but I would go with a white or off-white or even a pale gold for the background. I think the background is too busy for a silhouette quilt. Just my opinion.
I looked up some pics of silhouette quilts & most have a light, "un-busy" background. http://www.google.ca/search?q=silhou...w=1024&bih=605 |
I like "A" .... Love to see the finished project when you get it done .

A for a very soft look. C (my preference) for a more traditional silhouette but still on the soft side. D is a little darker? Hard to tell actual shades on the computer screen. Good luck, lovely idea for a gift.

I like the last choices the best.

I lean toward the third fabric, but I also think any of these would look good. What a nice thing you are doing for your friends. I like the background fabric.
