Currently I'm working on a quilt centered around a panel of Mary Engelbreit fabric, given to me by a friend. Seems just right for spring.
Mary Engelbreit panel
Electric Quilt sketch
The theme panel will form the middle of the quilt, represented by gray and light green in the sketch. A companion fabric will go in the corners.
Auditioning fabrics - most from stash
Blue seems a little out of place to me, even though it goes well with the blue in the panel.
Subbing in a green print that has been in my stash for a long time. I like it.
Not sure if there is enough of the green print, so auditioning a couple of other greens, just in case.
Ordinarily I wouldn't put these two prints together in a small block, but it's growing on me. Seems to fit the whimsical nature of the Mary Engelbreit panel.
First block finished - I like it. Made 16 of these, the only pieced blocks of the whole quilt. Easy!

Preview of the pink fabric that will go between the blocks
Not sure if I love the pink so auditioning various pinks and reds. Right now I like the pink in the top center, and the darker red on the left side of the quilt. We'll see how I feel when I work on the quilt again in a day or two.
