When I first started sewing, I happened upon a seller on eBay who was selling charm packs for a steal. Of course, they were an auction, so you could end up paying retail price, but for the most part, I got mine for a couple dollars each. This seller doesn't seem to do this anymore, otherwise I would share the wealth here. :)
I happen to have four packs of Saltbox Harvest by Deb Strain. I got a little giddy when I found them in my stash because they are perfect for a fall sewing project.
I tossed around two different options for a solid. Taking cues from the colors of fall for my area, I wanted to include a deep purple. I wasn't sure how that would look with the other deep, rich colors, so I also sketched out the colors paired with a more neutral tan solid.
The winner?
It does lack a balanced contrast as far as value goes, but I feel it pulls together my vision of fall that I see around me. The tan was just boring to me in comparison. The purple I chose is Kona Berry.
I'm doing my best to stop myself from starting the cutting already. I'm a great starter of projects, ya know.

The colors are beautiful. With the cream in there there is plenty of contrast....just place it judiciously.
Oo, I have never seen this fabric line before, it is super cute - love that you are doing a fall quilt!
