But here's the thing...I really do want you to vote...for a color combination! I am not going to tell you what its going to be...I really just want your opinion on what color combination you like best. So here's a chance for you lurkers to come out, stand up and be counted!
First combo:
Second combo:
Third combo:
And nope, I am not going to tell you what the fabrics are or their end use...I just want your opinion on the color selections...
Okay, get set, vote! I will give you the tally on Thursday. Then I will let you know what color combination I'm leaning towards and what I'm planning on making! Now isn't this fun! Don't forget to VOTE!!!!
My first instinct is combo #3 (with the purple). It simply spoke to me, and I can see it working for you...
ReplyDeleteMy initial instinct was #1. I love the colors in the stripe. I do love #3 though. The plum is a gorgeous color and I like the print.
ReplyDelete#1, #3, #2. Strictly my personal preference, as I think all the combinations are very nice. I think #3 is the most immediately striking, but I still like #1 the best. Can't wait to see what you do with them.
ReplyDeleteI like #1. The colors look soothing and fresh for Spring. That purple is screaming Autumn. Maybe I've been influenced by all of the fall shows I've been viewing.
ReplyDelete#1!
ReplyDeleteWell my first instinct was combo 1 and although this may be because I am more of a stripe person than a florals person I'll stick with that. They do all look lovely though, I bet the vote is split!
ReplyDeleteCount my vote for combo #1 :)
ReplyDeleteSherryV
#3
ReplyDeleteLOL, I can see I'm in the minority, but #2 is jumping right out at me. Then 3, then 1.
ReplyDeleteBut honestly, they all work well.
My eyes are directed to #2. But I love blue, so perhaps that influences me. But of course you made 3 good combinations.
ReplyDelete#2, my favorite!
ReplyDeleteI vote #1!
ReplyDeleteI really love 1, but 3 is a good match too
ReplyDeleteFrom the Lurker as requested - I vote #1, I love the stripe.
ReplyDeleteMy first choice would be #1 - I'm drawn to the stripes and fresh color. The second choice would be #3, because I can already see you wearing that.
ReplyDeletecombo #3. But, if the print is going to be a lining, then my favorite is #2 and second is #3 :)
ReplyDeleteDelurking here to vote for #1 . They're all beautiful, but as someone else said, #1 speaks SPRING,plus I love stripes :>)
ReplyDeleteNedra
My vote order is #2, #3, #1.
ReplyDeleteHey girl,
ReplyDeleteI vote for #2.
Lisa
#3, then #2, #1.
ReplyDeleteI vote #1
ReplyDelete#2, unless the print is going to be used for a lining. These beautiful colors deserve a starring role!
ReplyDelete#1 is my second choice.
My vote is for #1
ReplyDeleteCombo number 2.
ReplyDeleteDelurking as requested, #2 then #3, but it was close!
ReplyDeleteMy first thought was #1 but the more I look at it the more I like #3.
ReplyDeleteVote for combi 1!!!
ReplyDeleteI vote number 1!
ReplyDeleteNumber 1 - it has spring all over it.
ReplyDeleteI like #1. It is more "spring-y" than the other richer colors.
ReplyDeleteanother delurker -
ReplyDelete2, 1 then 3 are my favorites (but I see you in 3)
Claire
2, 1, 3 in that order. I know whatever you choose will be gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteBeth
2,3,1 in that order.
ReplyDeletemkhughes
I vote for #1
ReplyDeleteLorna
I'm voting for number 1. While they're all lovely, #1 just screams spring to me and boy, oh boy, am I ready for spring!!
ReplyDeleteI vote for #1. Although conservative, I think it suits your coloring and is cheerful with the stripe.
ReplyDelete1st, because it's not as contrast-y, it's more a wear-anywhere-still-look-good type combination, and as I don't know what your project is ...
ReplyDeleteCombo No.3. (If You don't use this one in the end....well you could send it over to me.)
ReplyDeleteAnnie
Another lurker here. I like 2 the best, then 3, then 1. But I like them all (probably because I can imagine running my fingers over them, and I bet they feel good!)
ReplyDeleteI love stripes, but the print in #3 is calling to me. I vote for #3, then #1
ReplyDelete3. Super classy!
ReplyDeleteFIRST COMBO!!!
ReplyDeleteI prefer the first - it's so Spring-y!
ReplyDeleteCombo #1 - unusual and springy! 2 and 3 are more autumnal or wintry. Pretty, but we here in the now rainy and cold northeast need to think spring!
ReplyDeleteI like #2 best, Carolyn. :)
ReplyDeleteI vote combo #1!!!
ReplyDeleteI vote for Combo # 1.
ReplyDeleteYou have pulled me out :) I vote for combo #3. Although #2 came in for a close second. I love your blog!
ReplyDeleteI vote for #3 it is lovely.
ReplyDeleteYour blog is such an inspiration.
I must get my act together.
Janice in WI
Number 1 for me, color combo looks like spring and I like stripes. Then #2 and finally #3.
ReplyDeleteThough they all look nice.
Number Three. The plum is just gorgeous and the creme will set it off nicely.
ReplyDeleteThere, I've de-lurked ;-)
Number three for me! It's the least obvious and isn't too matchy-matchy.
ReplyDeleteI vote for #2. Is that Pantone's blue for the season? The print is exciting enough to jazz up your wardrobe's other neutrals (yes, I'm an avid fan of your blog) yet subtle enough to co-exist with them peacefully. The blue seems to be the right tone to also work with your wardrobe without being jarring. The combo is vibrant and very appealing. It seems it will blend into your wardrobe easily.
ReplyDeleteSorry #1 does nothing for me, but then it isn't my wardrobe. LOL.
#3 is my second choice.
Angela
#2 please. It may be my monitor, but in 1 and 3, the accent color doesn't seem to exist in the silky. 2 seems to have the closest match.
ReplyDeleteHi Carolyn, quick! Is your email address listed somewhere on your blog? My boss just came to me and asked if I knew anyone who would like a bunch of trims. They belonged to her mother-in-law who is no longer able to sew. She bought trims by the yard (and I think she meant like 50 yards at a time!) and they are probably vintage. I will get a chance to see them tomorrow. I immediately thought of you and she said if I can get your address, we can ship them to you - NO CHARGE. Let me know...I hope you see this message since it looks like I am #56 on the comments today!
ReplyDeleteI'm feeling Spring, so my vote goes for #1
ReplyDeleteI like #2 -- I think because I love that print so much! #1 was a close second.
ReplyDeleteI like #2 - blue and brown - yummy!. On my monitor the #1 don't match at all. And no #3 is a bit boring.
ReplyDelete#1, then #3, then #2.....can't wait to see the plan
ReplyDeleteI vote for number one.
ReplyDeleteI'm unlurking just long enough to pick #1. Love it!
ReplyDeleteI vote for combo no. 4 :-) ....the plum print from No. 3. and the light grayish solid from No. 1. Linda
ReplyDeleteI vote for Combo #3 - love the purple and gold fabric with the soft ivory fabric.
ReplyDeleteMary in AR
Number 3 really jumps out at me
ReplyDeleteJudy
I'm drawn to combo #3. But combo #2 is a close second.
ReplyDeleteLurker vote: #1
ReplyDeleteI say 2, 1, 3
ReplyDeleteJ
Another lurker voting for combo #2.
ReplyDeleteThe first one!It's elegant!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely #1 although I do love the purple combo (#3) almost as much.
ReplyDeleteOK, delurking here.
ReplyDeleteCombo 2
Debbie
Number 2.
ReplyDelete#3, #2 and then #1. But they're all great.
ReplyDeletelurker checking in.....#2, #1 and #3. I love #2, subtle floral. very classy.
ReplyDeleteAngie R.
I vote for # 3. I don't love blue, and while the first one is nice I don't find it very exciting.
ReplyDelete#1 is my choice. #3 is lovely, but the colours don't grab me as much as #1.
ReplyDeleteI like #1 and then #3 in that order! While you are looking forward to spring and thinking of warmer clothes, here in New Zealand we are at the opposite end and will soon be in Autumn mode! Although we are having an Indian summer at the moment, thankfully! Can't wait to see what you are going to make.
ReplyDeleteSorry, blonde moment - you will be thinking of cooler clothing not warmer! It is almost the end of the working day here, I am not with it!
ReplyDeleteCombo number 3 I like how the gold and beige (in the leaves/flowers) are reflected in the solid color. Combos 1 and 2 don't resonate with me in the same way, for some reason. I wish you luck with your project!
ReplyDeleteOK, I vote for the blue combo #2. However, I made a blouse from the turquoise stripe silk twill and LOVE that fabric. I'm not so enamored with the blouse I made, but the fabric is fabulous. Whatever you make, I'm sure it will be lovely.
ReplyDeleteFirst, I'd like to thank you for such a fabulous wedsite, I have been a lucker for a while.
ReplyDeleteI vote for #3.
Jay.
2,1,then 3. Though in the interest of full disclosure, DD just finished a dress out of print #3 so I'm kind of visually done with it. (She used the border for the midriff and piping.) They are all quite nice and I'm sitting on the edge of my seat waiting for your decision and what the outfit will be.
