So I’ve been going back and forth between Mauve Pink and Peche for a while now and couldn’t decide which one I liked more. Unfortunately, my nearest store is 3.5 hours away and I just couldn’t make that trip. They were on sale, so I bought both with the plan to return whichever one I liked least, but now I kind of dislike both for different reasons lol.

First, Mauve Pink is not pink at all to me…it’s purple. The stock images made it look more like a true mauve/dusty pink, and I genuinely went back to check because I thought I ordered the wrong color. I don’t hate it, and maybe if it had a gold knob I’d like it more, but I just don’t think I really like it.

Now Peche, I’ve been obsessed with peachy pink for the last two years, so when I found this color I wanted it so bad. But it’s kind of the same thing where the color is slightly off. Even the picture above doesn’t really show it, but the darker orange color is a lot more orange than it looks. In the pictures it looks just slightly darker than the middle color, but in person I’d consider it more of a coral while the lighter color is a very soft baby peach pink.

I ultimately decided to return Peche because I have a gas stove and all of my light-colored pots get flame marks. They don’t really come off even with cleaning, so I knew it would drive me crazy if that happened to this pot.
But now I’m wondering if I should return the Mauve Pink too and just wait until a color comes out that I actually like. If there were a glossy black or if Ganache came back, I would trade it in for either of those in a heartbeat. But as of right now, I don’t think there’s really a color I love.

Hi guys, I wanted some opinions on this quilt I’m making for my mom. It’s very colorful, and there’s not really a huge theme to the color palette. I’m basically just trying to make it as colorful as possible for my mom, who LOVES color and flowers.

I’m thinking of switching out the dark green block. When I ordered the green fabric, I thought it was a blue/teal. It’s definitely a blue-green, but it’s more green than I wanted. I decided to use it anyway to avoid having to keep buying more fabric (unfortunately there are no fabric stores near me, so I’m stuck ordering online and crossing my fingers lol).

My sashing is going to be this green floral print fabric to help tie everything together, but I’m worried this green block looks a little off with the sashing. I’d love to avoid making another block, so if you think it works, let me know.

My mom’s top three favorite colors are teal, pink, and purple, so I really wanted to include a teal and pink block. I also wanted the teal to add a darker value since a lot of my blocks are pretty light.

Do you think the green block works with the rest of the quilt and the sashing, or should I redo the block with a blue/teal background?

Hi guys! About a month ago I posted that I was making a table runner using my siblings’ and my birth flowers as a Mother’s Day gift, but now that I’ve finished the blocks I feel like they’re too pretty to just be a table runner 😂. These are the first quilt blocks I’ve ever made and I’m honestly so proud of them, especially since I only started sewing in February!

Now I really want to turn them into a quilt, but I’m having trouble figuring out a layout that would highlight the six flower blocks without making everything feel too busy. The flower patterns are from Burlap Blossom Patterns on Etsy and she has some other blocks like butterflies and bees I could add, but I still want the flowers to be the main focus. I also really want to use the fabric from the second photo somewhere in the quilt.

I don’t want it to be massive, maybe just a bit bigger than a throw size, but I’d love any suggestions for layouts or patterns I should follow. Thank you!
