I used a small floral from Hope Chest by Josephine Kimberling that I got on sale from Pink Castle Fabrics, it sort of doesn't go, which I like. All the elements of it match - the colours and the pattern, but I think probably because the solids in the top and the geometric prints are so loud compared to the florals you are drawn to those and don't realise there are a lot of delicate colours and prints in Carnaby Street.
One of these Henry Glass 108" solids would have been perfect, but I didn't have any and I was too impatient to wait, and (like I said before) I like how it sort of doesn't quite match, it adds to the scrappy look.
Off you go to Chris and her long arms, little quilt, have fun and see you soon.

Mmm - love those pinks and blues and pops of orange. Gorgeous.
Can't wait to see it done! Love your backing choice :-)
I love it... have totally tried to resist starting this quilt, but with all the scraps I have staring at me right now - it's making more sense. Justification.
I think this is one of those fabrics that will have you looking to see where it is in the top, the same but different!
Love it! What is that geometric print found on the bottom?
So, never mind then, just scanned the blog and realized it's Carnaby Street, which is what you said straight off. ;) Off to check it out...!
It's gorgeous and I like how you ran the solids through it ; )
Great choice for backing. it is perfectly mis-match-y.
