Pretty But Not Quite

Thought I'd show you some of the colorways that won't be making it into the Ava Rose collection. I think they're all pretty but they didn't quite fit into the collection in the way I wanted. Still though, maybe I'll make a reject quilt with them.

So sad. I love the one in that first picture!

Oh, is it wrong I'm in love with the rejects?

If these are rejects the keepers must be fabulous! xo, suzy

Tanya,
These fabrics are just beautiful... I can't believe they'd be "rejects"! Seeing the beauty of these makes me all the more excited to see the Ava Roses line!

These are gorgeous! I'm sure a quilt made out of them would be stunning!

oh, tanya! I want the one from the top photo- I love it!! Boo hoo.

Wow, even the rejects are pretty :)

Oh, why can't we have them all? Maybe they can be deferred and not rejected outright. I especially love that pink stripe.

They're very pretty, maybe you should save the colorways for a future collection. A reject quilt auctioned off to benefit your favorite charity would be nice.

rejects are awesome!!! Can't wait to see...love,J

Just discovered your blog. It is absolutely wonderful! I LOVE the Ava bag and cannot wait for the pattern! It's perfect! And the Stella Apron. Must have that pattern as well. I love the bright simple, cheeriness of your blog. It makes me want to re-do mine. ;o) Thanks for sharing your wonderful talents.

I'm so happy it is you and not me having to pick which ones to reject, they are all so beautiful.

Posted by: Lisa N | March 16, 2008 at 09:56 AM

how on earth do you decide what are "rejects" when they're all so beautiful. sigh. i guess that's why i'm not a fabric designer!

Posted by: doki | March 16, 2008 at 10:49 PM

Oh my, they are all so beautiful. I guess everybody else has already said that. I especially love the one with the robin's egg blue background!
