Decisions... Decisions....

Hello everyone! Earlier I made a post about making my first quilt, well after trolling quilt blogs for hours I have decided on a pattern!

This is what the quilt pattern looks like!


I have decided to use Botanics by Carolyn Friedlander for Robert Kaufman. I am going to use the charm pack for the squares in the middle, one of the colors for around the outside and a contrasting color from the set for the binding color!
This is the color set I am going to be using! http://www.robertkaufman.com/fabrics/botanics/

For the outside thick border (which shows up as the navy floral print on the pattern) I am going to be using this teal color with gold accents. 


For the binding (what shows up as the thin red fabric on the pattern) I am going to be using this white color with gold accents that compliments the teal. 


I really like the idea and I think it is gonna look really good together. I can't wait to get started!! My first step is to order all the fabric and get my materials and such. Next I will have the fun of putting together 120 5" by 5" squares into groups of 4 with white fabric in between. 

It is going to be so much fun! Keep you all posted! 

What do you think of the color scheme I picked? Any ideas or suggestions?
