Default Boogie Woogie Sheep

I drafted this sheep to make a 14 inch block and I want to do them in funky colours. It isn't perfect but I am going to see if the next block turns out to be easier. Which colour would you do the head in with this crazy purple print? The mauve or the black?[ATTACH=CONFIG]551814[/ATTACH]

Cute! Love the legs! Mauve head with black ears and nose. Or do you have something close to the light dots in the purple? To me it looks like a mint green. That could be cute!

I do have a green in the exact shade of the dots but I thought it was a bit too bright.[ATTACH=CONFIG]551815[/ATTACH]

If you're going to do a whole quilt with these blocks, I would keep all the heads in black.

Really cute.

It depends if you want them to be funky or not. Myself, I would probably stick with mostly darker colors for the head of the sheep but I think the mauve is much better than that screaming green. This is a really cute sheep! Great design.

I'm weird but I would do a lavender sheep with the printed head. I love the idea of keeping all the heads dark or black prints.

I agree that the heads should all be the same colour.

i like the black heads also, but there needs to be enough contrast between head and body so you can see it at a glance. Love the legs
