    I think that a green would really set the pink off. In other words it would be a wonderful contrast. Jeanniebelle

    I think the selection is perfect. Very beautiful. Did you buy all this fabric at walmart? Was it a supercenter? The fabric dept. at my little neighborhool walmart doesn't have anything like this. I have never checked out the fabric dept. at the supercenter which is at least 20 miles from my house and I only buy groceries there occasionally.

    Beautiful color selection. You could possibly even add a small bit of cream to break up the pinks. Just a thought.

    Sounds to me like the dark green would be suitable for a mini border, or "sparkle" between the pinwheels and the outer border. The quilt would still have the soft baby look, but the dark green would set off lovely print, and contain the pinwheels to the quilt top. Otherwise, they might disappear into the border. I would want to lay it out with color options before deciding on a binding, but my first thought would be the mint.

    After re-reading your intent, if the floral is used as the backing, that may be the better fabric to also use as a mini border, and forget the dark green. I was struck by what gorgeous pinwheels the floral would make, and how the darker green would set it off.

    Are we safe to assume that you'll be decorating her room in pinks also? She's a lucky little lady already. The fabric selection is simply lovely.

    I think a green fabric would add a lot to the quilt. If you feel the green you are showing does not work for you, maybe you can find one that works better.

    No adding green. This is a great selection just as it is and will be a soft and feminine quilt.
