I think I've done it, I hope I've done it

After puddling around with a variety of fabrics for a few days I think I have finally chosen my fabrics for 'A Gardeners Journal, however I'm not entirely sure on the mauve piece in there - what do you think? Oooo, decisions, decisions.
I hope the rest of you are having an easier time selecting your fabrics.

I love your fabrics. Everyone has different takes on what suits. I myself like your choices. Go with your gut feeling if you dont like one take it out and place another in it place trail and error. Hope this helps Andrea

Its the hardest part of a quilt for me anyway, choosing fabric.
