Beechworth Quilt - To Do

In May 2018 we drove to Beechworth, Vic with our friends, and towed our respective caravans.

As part of our time in Beechworth, I visited a quilt fabric shop which was in a home, out of town. She had a wonderful array of fabrics, out of which I chose one piece in particular that caught my eye.

I've had a couple of ideas what to do with it but so far none of them have born fruit. Some of the fabric is already cut into 6" blocks, ready to piece but one of my great ideas actually was going to look awful had I carried on with it - and so I'm now up to about version 3 or 4. And so eventually it was placed in a plastic box awaiting further inspiration.

Herewith is the fabric and some of the options:

Option 1: To be patched with multi-coloured blocks in between. The colours are the same as in the floral fabric but I felt they dominated, rather than enhance the florals. So, I'm pretty sure that won't be a go-er! However, I'll use the multi-coloured blocks elsewhere, that 's for sure!


Option 2: To be patched with a light pink, as in the floral (note: these are pieces of fabric yet to be cut, so apologies that they have that crinkled look - that's coz they are crinkled!



Option 3: to be patched with a medium coloured pink, again this pink matches some of the pinks in the floral


Option 4: to be patched with the deepest pink within the main floral fabric



Overall: I still can't decide. Pink it is but which one? I'm weighing up which one will enhance the floral the best.

What I do notice is how the different shades of pink enhance their respective tones within the florals.

NOTE: I'm very happy for you to offer your choices!
