    These are the fabrics I chose for my Chop and Sew. This is my first attempt at fabric selection involving anything more than two fabrics and I'd love some feedback. I haven't actually cut the starting squares yet--I think I'm having a case of cold feet...

    Maybe replace the blue with a deep brown,purple/lilac - like the color in the stripe, light gold or a tan? Other than that - I love it, especially the paisley and the stripe.

    Thank you! The "blue" is actually darker and more of a purple than it appears in the photo, so I think I'm on the right track. I appreciate the feedback!

    I don't know what a Chop and Sew is, but the fabrics are a wonderful choice. If you have always just picked out just 2 fabrics, it looks like you have steped out of your box. I try to get some of our guild members to do the same thing.
    Congratulations on your brave choices.

    Those are great colors. Now stop thinking about it and get it done. Sorry didn't mean to be pushy.
