oops! Hit wrong button. Maybe try a lavender color, or a pink and white.

I only see 3 fabs and the fabs you show would be beautiful in that pattern

For starters, I would pick out a white or light cream fabric, as well as a medium blue, maybe a light pink and then a navy or black for contrast. Just be sure there is enough contrast between the fabrics to highlight the pattern of the quilt. That's what I would do anyway. By the way, don't you love that paisley? That fabric has been around a long time in different colors, it's almost a staple in a fabric stash, and it's very pretty. Keep us posted on how you're doing.

It is called a Log Cabin Shaded Broken Star quilt. It is a stand alone pattern I picked up in Shipshawana, Indiana. It is done by Log Cabin Creations.

I don't know how many colors you have to have but I would get
some pink and black to go with the paisley and light blue.

I'm gonna use a cream color for the back ground.

Good choice! Don't go too dark on the green.. try to match what is in the paisley, and that would give you a dark/medium/light to play with.
