I Need A Little Help From My Friends

My brain is having a difficult time picking out fabric. I auditioned a number of color combinations. A few I rejected. A few have possibilities. Most, I have no idea. And so I turn to my quilting friends around the globe for advice. 

This quilt will be about suicide because I still haven’t worked out all my feelings. I’ll just have to keep arting until everything inside of me is resolved. The quilt I saw in my head has a solid background, one amorphous fabric and one graphic fabric. I’ve pretty much settled on the amorphous fabric, but I’m having a hard time figuring out the graphic fabric. Would you please look at the photos of fabric combinations and tell me which you like best. Many thanks. PS….I had come color problems with the amorphous fabric. The fabric on the left, I want to keep. That fabric looks a bit different in some of the photos. The one that comes closest to the fabric in real life is Fabric 12.

  1. I like 9 and 4 because they convey some turmoil, but in the process of settling out – 5 and 6 shout too much turmoil that never gets resolved.

  2. Either 3, because it seems map/mathematical and you’re trying to make sense of it all, or 5 because suicide is messy no matter how it was done. The people left behind are always in a mess.

  3. Fabric combo 4 really jumped out at me. I love that one. I also liked 3 and 9, in that order. Not knowing your plan, I can only go with my gut and I loved #4. Keep working at it and in the end, it’s your feelings that count!

    1. I like 3 and 9, and 12 a little less. I also like 11, but you’d have to factor in my current obsession with orange.
