Abby's Quilt


I found this quilt from Crazy Old Ladies and love the pattern (not so much the fabrics).  I was going to try to just come up with the pattern myself, but I found it for $5 and figured it was worth the money for the time and effort it would save me to figure out dimensions and sketch pictures and so forth.  Any who.  I can't decide on fabrics.  My quilt stores don't have anything that I'm particularly loving right now, so if you find anything that you think would go well with this, write down the collection and designer for me.  Monica found this fabulous collection "Love U" and I want to use some of them (especially the sunshine trees, polka dots and owls which would all be perfect), but I need more.  Would it look okay in solids?  How about polka dots?  Or should I try to find florals?  What colors?  All suggestions are welcome.

Shells, what about that fabric that you showed me while you were at my house. It had flowery looking owls and other flowers and flowery looking things (maybe ducks or something??). Do you have any clue what I am talking about??

I saw it in person and I'm not loving it anymore. Kind of funny.
