Love Embellishments

I am up to my ears in work, but I can't show any of it to you just yet!   It is so frustrating, as I want to show you right now.  
Instead I took off for the weekend and sewed up 2 skirts.   They even had zippers... and I am so not a zipper fan, but I wanted something that looked a bit more dressy than an elastic waist band.  

My reasoning is that I am travelling a fair bit this spring and fall and would like to have some splashy new outfits.    There is nothing splashier than quilt fabric.   I had a couple pieces that I adored too much to to cut up for a quilt.

PWJD064 · Primrose · Magenta

The other piece I don't have a name for as it was a Christmas gift, but it was so loud and fun that I knew I wanted to wear it, not have it hanging on a wall.

Now I know that I have to match a top up with each of them.  I had an idea  to help with that.   As you know I have a small obsession with 3D embellishing, so I made an embellishment that I can pin on my top to really tie into my skirt.  See, quilt embellishments can really be used anywhere!

Here is where you come in.  I have the embellishment made, (and you have to rave that you love this fabric and NOT that it is too loud for a skirt=).  I want to put a vintage piece of jewelry in the middle, which one do you like the best?
#1 Purple

 #2 Gold and Pearl

 #3 Blue

Let me know what centre I should pick for my little flower.

The gold and pearl is very classy - almost classic.

I like the gold and pearl best. Second place would be the purple. It might depend on what you want to be able to wear as a top. I think the gold and pearl would be a little more neutral (in terms of going with more). Not that I am any sort of a fashion expert.

I like the purple. The gold and pearl is nice, but you're not an old lady. Yet.

My preference would be for #2, the gold and pearl.

Well, I don't think it's about being an old lady, which I am. But the purple fades away and the light blue sort of glares. The gold and pearl complements the fabric nicely. Fun embellishment--you're right, great fabric!
best, nadia

They all work but my vote is for the pearl!

The pearl is classic, where the purple looks funky....

I am in complete agreement with Rolanda.
