"What the hell is that?"
That's the weather mapping that is over Orlando today. And no, I'm not in the little white section. Add in the fact that my car is at the shop and you've got a very dreary stuck-inside kind of day. A sewing kind of day!
So Jennifer and I have been working on DWR quilts, and cheering each other on. She's making hers out of Fandango, and I'm taking the opportunity to reduce my scrap bucket. Sadly, that meant that my cutting experience was probably a million times longer than hers, since I had to cut each piece individually. I got 120 squares out of my tiny scraps without any apparent difference in the volume of the bucket!
I did have to supplement my stacks o' scraps with some yardage too.

So here's where you come in! I'm having trouble deciding on my background fabric. The picture above is a DWR from a class at the workroom so you have an idea of what the final piece will look like.
Should I put my arcs made up of blue/green/grays/black&white prints on this background of the black and white pin dot...
...or this light blue and white pin dot?
Light blue and white!!! Makes the colors of your rings pop more - at least in these pictures.

I love the way the black and white dot looks with the rings! It makes the quilt look bolder in my opinion! (Navy dots would be fantastic as well!)
ReplyDeleteohhh great choices - the block polka dot is more visible that the blue, so it depends if you want to go bold or not... woohoo for progress, i'm staying on track :)
ReplyDeleteLight blue dots is my vote. No chance you want to use both?
ReplyDeleteI like the darker fabric better =D
ReplyDeleteThose rings look so lovely I vote for the light blue dots as you wouldn't want anything to distract from them!
ReplyDeleteI love you choices, they'll both be good whichever you settle on. The darker polka dots are really cool and I really like those! The light blue dots are nice though as they let your wedding rings take focus. If I had to pick one, I think the darker dots are more exciting and work really well!!
ReplyDeleteit's 93 today...Tell your gloomy weather to come to my house!
I love the dark ones but either would be great :)
ReplyDeleteBoth are great but I love the black version. It's just punchier!
ReplyDeleteI like the suggestion of navy blue, but if that means you have to purchase more fabric, then I choose black.
ReplyDeleteI like the black best but both look great!
ReplyDeleteBoth are nice but I think the black pin dot is more va-va-voom.
ReplyDeleteAlso, a HUGE thank you to you because my Christmas fabric prize arrived today - so thank you very much for sending that to me and yay it arrived safe and sound! The fabrics you've sent are amazing and I am already planning away :)
Am I too late? I love the black and white polka dot one!
