Do these 2 fabrics go together?

Thinking of making an ohio star quilt using jinny beyer's milan line for the actual stars and Melodies Sundae for the lights in the hst. I love both lines but am having trouble deciding how they would look together. Or this combo would make a dramatic log cabin? Anybody care to weigh in? I know it's Christmas week and you have nothing else going on.

I would like to wish everyone on the forum a happy holiday and a big thank you for all your help this year.And an extra hug for Sandy N and Karen whose dedication and sense of humor is always so delightful.

If you could post some sample pixs of the fabric that would help. I'm familiar with the Ohio Star.

I looked in the MSQ shop and found both fabrics you listed. The milan line is very intense and the other is very soft and dainty. I would not use them together, but that's just me.

Do you already have both?

I also looked and maybe I'm missing something but the Milan seems too bold. I'm doing a quilt now using a Lexington JR and a Butterscotch layer cake - and perhaps these would work for you. There may not be enough contrast with some of the Lexington strips though.

I agree with the others. I do not see those 2 fabric lines playing together well.

These two fabric lines do not play well together.

I found them on the shop page. I am not great with color combinations (I think that is why I like charm packs :0) but I am having a hard time visualizing these two lines working together. Sorry.

I don't know if I would put those together.....but I might :)

I don't think I would put these two together. The bright bold colors would make the other fabric look washed out. They are beautiful separate but not together. That's my opinion anyway.

Ok ok I can totally see that these 2 do NOT look good together. No worries I haven't purchased either yet, I was just dreaming about it. Buckeye would you PLEASE tell me how you loaded those two fabric images side to side? If I learned to do that it would be a Christmas present to me and something I would do a lot. Can I do that on a kindle? Thanks and Merry Christmas everyone.

I use Corel PaintShop for my graphics and photos. I don't know if it can be used on a Kindle, I've never tried it on mine.

Yes I knew it was butter pecan not butterscotch. I lov

I meant to say I love that one too. Boy, sometimes a message will instantly fly into outer space and post itself leaving me behind saying hey!! I wasn't done with that yet! But your correction wasn't needed, sometimes we quilters think alike!

I wouldn't use them together.

Thanks everyone for your thoughtful responses--but never mind. My BIL claimed my sister's favorite color was dark purple, now I found out it is pale pink. (Glad I didn't buy anything he recommended!!) Looks like I'll have to continue searching for fabric but I love that part so I really don't mind. Who can't spend hours, days, weeks ?drooling over fabric at M * and FQS right.
