potential color scheme
Potential color scheme for my 12-block Optimism quilt.
I am looking to substituting a darker blue (bordering on navy) for the med blue for more contrast.
Close-up of border 3 fabric, the pics don't do it justice (more vibrant irl).
Enough avoiding of holiday cooking & gift wrapping for me.
Happy holidays all!

Okay, here’s mine so far! I did the thing where I found a border fabric and picked fabrics that will go. Also, I’m going to be a little outside the box and use black for the background and brighter colors for the patterns. Might be terrible, might be fantastic!
Well, I keep trying to add the picture, but I can’t. I’ve tried taking a picture with my iPad, I’ve tried taking a picture and then doing a screenshot of it, I’ve tried going from Google Photos, I’ve tried adding with the “Manage Attachments” function, but I can’t get the photo here. Sorry, and I’m open to suggestions and to being directed to some instructions on how to make this happen.

Alternate color scheme
Quossum, I love your fabrics! And what better theme than cows...
I'm considering a higher contrast color scheme like such...
And I really should get back to cooking and wrapping, LOL.

All great fabric choices, but I have to say I'm partial to DPendleton's first choice, but I like bright colours. Both will make a wonderful quilt.
Quossum - your fabrics are great! And I like your choice of dark for the background.
Merry Christmas, everyone!
