I see what you mean -- I certainly have more black and white in my stash! I'll give it a try, thanks.

Good combo but how about adding a white background with small black print for a little more contrast? When I take my glasses off (do it all the time to see how fabrics work together LOL) the first three blend together.

Your fabrics are gorgeous! So not my comfort zone!

Has their ever been a swap where you let someone else choose fabrics for you, other than a Boomerang? It might help me to expand my view if someone else forced me to!

Here';s my fabrics...do you think they will work? And should I switch B and E, so the maroon is next to the orange instead of the brown? Anyone...would like your thoughts/ideas...

There is a lot more orange in the flowered fabric then this picture shows.

Well, Florence, you can always make another top with different colors. And now aren't you glad I made this an every-two-week posting? Yeah, it's murder to wait a month for that second thing that gets you started. But this way everyone can second guess themselves! LOL Just kidding, everyone is doing fine.

Yes, thank you Judy. It is hard to wait a month for the next directions. I am in several BOMs and it just kills me. But it's not like I don't have anything else to do it's just that I don't want to. LOL.

Lovelyl, your fabrics are lovely! Yes, they will be beautiful and will work nicely. I only would suggest separating what appears to be 2 blues, the 2nd and 3rd from the left. Will make the blue and pink stand out more. Love your purple.

lovelyl 02-23-2012 04:55 PM

Will do! Thanks for the suggestion!

Very Lovely, Linda. Pun intended.:)

Caroline,
Very punny! I love it! :D

Thanks for the quick answer...I will stick with what I have laid out. Can't wait till March 5!
