Every time I see that you have posted, I quickly look at your latest posting because I know it will be top notch. I love the colors and prints you have chosen here for this project. I just can't wait to see it finished.

Never mind, it might take away from the blues. Duh.

Here was another lay out option...

This one is quite dark at the end, but I kind of like the one above better....

With the idea it's "wind moving over a field of flowers"....
I think you should purposely put in just a few lighter, "not flowers" to symbolize wisps of wind. Like, in the yellows use a tone on tone yellow that blends with its neighbors. In the blues, tone on tone blue. The reds have me stumped because red would be too bold. But I would make sure that grouping ended up in the bottom third of the quilt to "ground" it, and the lighter blues/yellows predominantly on top because it makes me think airy, kwim?
I can't wait to see this one come together..it's a mindbender!

I tried it...and the yellow I had is too bright and the blue really broke up the florals--looked too plain. That one was a Moda marble is sky color.

Oh my, all of you quilters are so smart. Every example I see looks just beautiful to me. Guess that is why I won't be doing one of these type quilts for maybe 10 years..need a little more experience...Your quilt is going to be beautiful...the fabrics are awesome....Blessings, Jackie

Now I think it's too many reds in a row?
