Option 1 - I have been saving this stunning Aviary bundle for something super sophisticated and chic. I think this pattern could look so very classy. The black grunge would be the setting triangles and the white grunge would be the background. (Again, I love grunge!!)
Option 2 - This beautiful new Anna Griffin bundle I picked up at market. It is called Pippa by Ana Davis and I so love the colors!! Wouldn't this just be so soft and sweet. The background would be the perfect Bonnie and Camille Dots and the setting triangles would be the Architectures print by Carolyn Friedlander.
And Option 3 - Just to shake it up, would be the fantastic low volume prints from Road 15 by Sweetwater and then using a grey solid background with red setting triangles. I think this could really pop and be oh so much fun with the great low volume mix-up.
Have a Happy Quilting Weekend
LOVE the first option ~ chic ~ with the grunge fabrics!
ReplyDeleteOption 2, Soft and Sweet!
ReplyDeleteThey all would be great but I like option 1 the best.
ReplyDeleteOption 1 is just marvelous. Modern, yet classy.
ReplyDeleteI like option 1, Aviary best.
ReplyDeleteI am currently in love with greys, yellows, and a bit of black - so of coarse I choose option 1 - love sophisticated.
ReplyDeleteOption 1 looks very chic. Great choices.
ReplyDeleteChic and grunge would be awesome!
ReplyDeleteI'd go with 1 or 3, with 1 being my personal favorite. I've made several Quick Curve Ruler patterns and I think they look best with solid backgrounds. I'd just be worried that the dot as a background in option 2 would hide the curved piecing. The contrast of the prints with the solids in options 1 and 3 will really show off the piecing.
ReplyDeleteI'm jealous that you get to take a class from Jenny and Helen! I've spoken with Jenny on the phone when ordering rulers for my LQS, but taking a class from her trumps that. She is really nice! I know you will have a great time!
And don't stress about sewing the curves. With all the QCR patterns you cut everything a little larger, sew the curve then square things up before joining the units. Everything goes together so beautifully. You'll do just fine and whatever you make will look great!
Love them all, but agree that the red in option 3 would be awesome.
ReplyDeleteOption 2 is my favorite pull overall, but for some reason I think it belongs with a different design.
My favorite would be #1 but a very close second would be #3.
ReplyDeleteOption 1 or 2.
ReplyDeleteThe curved lines may be a nice contrast to the 'hard' colours of option 1.
The like the Anna Griffen bundle (#2) really lends itself to this pattern!
ReplyDeletewould go with the Aviary bundle think it would look great with this pattern.
ReplyDelete#1 chic!
ReplyDeleteOption 1.
ReplyDeleteIf you go with #3, you might want to pick a gray that has a little darker value. It doesn't have much contrast with your low volumes. I love all your fabric pulls though.
ReplyDeleteMy vote is with chic.
ReplyDeleteI would go with option 2. I think that curves would be so interesting in these shades. Everybody is doing a curved design with option 1 color now. I would love to see you do something totally different.
ReplyDeleteOption 2.
ReplyDeleteNumber 2 for a different type of look with the pattern! love it!
ReplyDeleteI like the last option best. But that's just my style...
ReplyDeleteAviary!
ReplyDeleteLove the 3rd option, but not for this quilt. I think the top option would set off the curves the best.
ReplyDeleteGo with the chic!
ReplyDeleteI like option 1 the best. The other two just look to bland to me.
ReplyDeleteI think option 1 is my favorite, but I love them all!
ReplyDeleteOption 2, but trade the dots for that white grunge in option 1
ReplyDeletechic for me, would never have put yellow with pink but it seems to work but chic is so very chic
ReplyDeleteI like the first two options. My favorite fabrics are definitely the Sweet one(Option2). I would choose a different setting triangles fabric though, because I want them to pop. Can't wait to see what you decide.
ReplyDeleteI like option 3 I think it would be stunning.
ReplyDeleteIf this is something you have always wanted to do.... I personally would go with the fabric that will last the test of time. Option 3 are classic and never "out of style". Just a thought if this will be a heirloom for you!! Can't wait to see the finished quilt!!
ReplyDeleteOh number 1 please. Can't wait to see it!! :-) :-)
ReplyDeleteAll good options, but my first pick would be #1. Good Luck picking, hopefully that's the hardest part. ;)
ReplyDeleteI really like the fun bundle, but the first bundle, chic, would really make a statement. It would be striking!
ReplyDeleteI am a huge fan of yellow....so my first choice would be #1, but I would also be really interested to see the low volume choice made up!!
ReplyDeleteThey are all lovely but I like the first one for this.
ReplyDeleteOption one would be stunning!!
ReplyDeleteLove the color combo in Option 2!
ReplyDeleteChic luv the look and I would love to see a picture of it finished with that black grunge. It looks raven black on my screen I bet it will be gorgeous
ReplyDeleteI think Option 1 would best suit this type of quilt. The yellow and black would be very dramatic.
ReplyDeleteOption 1 would be gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteI am going for Option 1 but I sure would keep Option 2 together for future considerations. :)
ReplyDeleteOption2! Although I think really you should make all three! :-)
ReplyDeleteDefinitely Option 1 - Classy & Chic - Dramatic, too. If you're going to do the curves, let them Stand Out, not fade away!!!
ReplyDeleteBlack and yellow is always great, but the red and low volume would be SO interesting! can't tell what your are doing though... looks like the pattern doesn't have curves, if that's what you're making.
ReplyDeleteBecause the Aviary fabric has such large, bold patterns, and is so elegant, my feeling is that because the cuts in this quilt are relatively small, the beauty of the fabric would be lost, and therefore I would go with one of the other selections and save the Aviary for a pattern that would showcase the prints.
ReplyDeleteOur local quilting group recently did the Metro Rings pattern. I like both Option 1 and 2 but recommend using a background fabric that doesn't have a dominant print. It may drive you nuts if when putting your pieces together the print doesn't line up. The grunge background in Option 1 would be perfect! Just my 2 cents worth!
ReplyDeleteHello, I like number 1. I am in the middle of making a quilt with these colors, I hope mine will look as gorgeous as yours will be. I'll check back to see what you choose to do.
ReplyDeleteI have to agree with what some previous comments say about losing some of the wonderful detail from the Aviary prints in the small pieces. You would waste that lovely combo on this quilt. I think the scale of fabric patterns on #2 is good for this design but really do not think the white dot would work well. You are going to end up with these beautiful open spaces ripe for some awesome quilting and the dot would end up competing with it. Plus the dot doesn't seem to have the same "feel" as the other fabrics in the grouping. You could do a soft solid pink or to give it a bit more life, use a light lime green for setting triangles and the grey for the background. Would totally give the more traditional fabrics a different spin!! Can't wait to see what you do!
ReplyDeleteFun! I love Sweetwater, Road 15, low volume, gray and red! It's a win!
ReplyDeleteOption 1 definitely! chic and sophisticated and very pretty:)
ReplyDeleteI love anything Sweetwater, but you have three good options there. Hope I get to see your work this coming week! :-)
ReplyDeleteOption 3 is my favorite. Love those fabrics.
ReplyDeleteI like the Chic but how big are those prints? They make not work because of the scale.
ReplyDeleteI agree with comment #50, except I'd go with the low volume option. I think that red would be fabulous!!
ReplyDeleteI'd go with Option 1--this quilt needs contrast to show off the amazing piecing. Your fabric choices are wonderful! (I may just copy them since I have that pattern, too!)
ReplyDeleteI like them all, but I would pick 1 because I love the colors and it would look so chic. But really all of them are great.
ReplyDeleteThe first option would look absolutely amazing. I wish I had those fabrics in my stash!
ReplyDeleteOption #1 would be my choice.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure why exactly but option 2 would be my pick.
ReplyDeleteI would go with option 2. I'm making the same pattern for my niece's wedding quilt!
ReplyDeleteOption 2 soft and sweet would be my first choice. But you couldn't go wrong with anyone selection.
ReplyDeleteI vote #1. Or #3 with red as the background instead of setting triangles. ;)
ReplyDeleteI think option 1 is beautiful. I love the grunge fabric.
ReplyDeleteOption 2 would be lovely :)
ReplyDeleteOption 3 would not only be fun but gorgeous, too.
ReplyDeleteCant wait to see what you chose!!! I would LOVE to see the low volume! (But any time you say red I'm all in!!!)
ReplyDeleteHmmm... It's a tough call as they're all great. If I HAD to choose, I think I'd choose #3. :) Enjoy, whichever one you choose!
ReplyDeleteI'm voting option 2 as well, it is subtle enough but not too BAM... I love the contract of colors.
