Shattered Angles Workshop

Here's what I'm up to next Saturday:

My friend Susan Purney Mark is teaching a Shattered Angles class at our Victoria Quilters' Guild workshop.  I'm pretty excited to learn this technique with a bunch of other quilters. Of course in advance of the class is the fun part of choosing fabrics.  I'm always a bit tentative about my choices.

I am thinking of these fabrics:

 with this black Kona as the 'grout':

but am wondering if it will be too bland with one colour in varied tones.  What do you think?

Are these ones better?

Choices, choices, decisions, decisions.  Help me out people.  What would you do?

Until next time,
Mavis
