I thought the stripes would bother me but B is growing on me.

I like the B side better too. I like the idea of using the backside only when you need a sharper contrast.

I like B better too... the colors play nicely with the others. Funny, the fabric looks great in your block but in the pieces of scrap you first photographed, it reminds you of wallpaper from the 80's LOL

I inherited my sister-in-laws stash and I found some of this fabric. Some of you board members have it now. I included in in my 2.5 square swap, Sweet Treats birthday swap. Enjoy it everyone! From my stash to yours!
