If they seem too dark I figure I can lighten it up some with the solid border pieces. I may have to give up sleep to piece this together---But I've decided that's what I'll do without.... It's going to be fun.
I think the colors work for me...It's the right balance of Moda, Jo Morton, and Thimbleberries. 30's prints would be tough--as I don't have any. A cute little modern red and aqua piece would work, but it would just sit on the shelf as my home has none of those colors. So my quilt will be the Northwoods version of --Love...Mamie.
Life's been crazy--- My father has been real sick. Gardens, flowers, kids, pups....I'll post more later-- But I just wanted to commit to this project....

I am working on the same pattern in patriotic colors. Fabrics from stash. Your fabrics choices will work well.
Oh YIPPEE! It's going to be wonderful! I'm so excited to see your fabrics! Let's get sewing!
I'm so sorry to hear your dad's been ill...sending good thoughts!
Fabulous colors, Melanie. Can't wait to see more.
Sending healing thoughts for your dad - sorry to hear he's been ill.
No such thing as 'too dark' in my book. Your choices look just right and don't let anyone tell you different *s*
I hope your dad is on the mend. I will keep him (and you) in my thoughts.
This is a cute quilt and will be great in the fabrics you chose! Hope your dad is better soon.
