My MIL has 20 beautiful "sunbonnet sue" blocks from who knows when and she doesn’t quilt so I offered to try to assemble a quilt for her.
The fabrics she has picked are just wrong, 80s print when the blocks she gave me are all 1930s dresses w/ solid bonnets, sooo cute, and most are pastel-ish, with one med green and one burgundy bonnet in the bunch. She simply likes burgundy and royal blue, I don't think they "go" with the squares. I told her the fabric she has is out and maybe we can find some solids that won't date the quilt. She prefers a dk blue sashing with maybe a burgundy accent around each block. I say pastel with maybe a darker around each block, but not blue and burgundy. I think she will trust my judgment, but at the same time I'm making this for her, should I go darker for her? I almost think it will be too bold with the lighter prints, but at the same time don't want it looking washed out if I go too light... I need someone who's good with color to advise, please.
They are on off white muslin.
