    Default Tried a new pattern, what do you think?

    I am contemplating making a queen size quilt for my niece who is getting married in May. I thought she and her husband-to-be might like this pattern because it is sort of modern. The couple said they want to decorate with greys, black, and pops of color. So I thought I might try using a eggshell color for the middle "O"s. then black, greys and reds. What do you think? I made one square out of some scrap fabric to try it out, the other pic is the full quilt finished - on the pattern. BTW, it is an easy pattern.

    I don't want to use flowery fabric, maybe grey's and yellow?

    IMHO, that pattern would look nice, but would drive me crazy before I was done with it.

    I think that pattern in black and grays will make a great, graphic look quilt.

    I agree with tartan. I think the contrast colors, with pops of red, will really bring out the pattern.

    I like that pattern. With your colors it should look modern.
