making decisions

I've been struggling a little this round with what to do for The Pillow Talk Swap. Well, I finally picked some fabrics...at least I think so. I know my partner loves text prints...so I pulled some special ones just for her!! What do you think...do these look good together. I'm not use to adding in a little black so I'm second guessing myself, but I think my partner might really like it.

My partner also really likes modern, so I'm hoping these also are modern enough??? Ack, I don't know!! Maybe I need to add in more black, and take out the pink?? I think this is one of the hardest parts for me, making decisions!! Would love your input!! :)

  1. I am trying to figure out what line these printed fabrics are from. I love how this looks. I'd take out the bright one one the far left and add a black. (maybe) That is hard, as it looks so good already!

  2. I think it's a great bundle! The bundle pic made me click to read more! :) I think some black would work well in this grouping too. Can't wait to see what you create with these!

  5. Your fabrics look great. I particularly like the red with the retro lady. You have great taste - trust your instincts and go with it.

  8. What a great mix of prints! Personally, I would keep in the pink polka-dot (I think it still goes with the green print with pink dots on it), but pull out the other three pink prints (they're not quite as modern). And a black would look great in the mix too. But I'm just seeing them on the screen and don't know what your design plan is, so that's just my opinion. Looking forward to seeing the finished design!

  10. Wow they are wonderful colors but I would lean on the side of adding a black also....maybe remove the red checker in the upper rite corner but they are lovely fabrics...

  11. I think these are totally modern. I think a black or dark teal would be good; adds another dark fabric for contrast.

  12. THANKS so much for all you sweet comments and advise!!

    The two text prints with the lady is a Japanese fabric from Suzuko Koseki. I got them on Etsy. :) All the others are from Lecien from one of their older collections (I think from a few years ago) called Spaicy Scrap. I got my hand on a little and was so excited. I've got a few fat quarter bundles I just listed in my etsy shop.

  18. Kerri, I think I'd pull the multi-colored print from the bottom left of the photo, and maybe add either another black or another aqua. The rest of them look great!

  19. I totally love the black in there! The only print I don't love is the one on the bottom left. But if this bundle is for sale in your shop, I would be seriously tempted!

    Everything you make is gorgeous, so don't fret!
